I Finally Catch A Break

I finally catch a break

now our blood is one.

as a knitter, you start to notice how rare it is for characters in tv shows and movies to knit correctly. from worst to best, it ranges from:

- laughably incorrect, just flinging yarn around

- knitting the most basic scarf incredibly slowly because the actor Learned How To Do It For The Role

- old lady actresses casually knitting an intricate lace pattern while doing a monologue

- gromit from wallace and gromit

“…be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.”
