Fresh Fish Served Daily

I tend to get a little obsessive over hobbies from time to time, but when it comes to knitting I find that that much less likely (comparatively). However, I did spend at least five minutes squinting at Lyra’s hat during the Golden Compass on Friday trying to determine how it was made while essentially ignoring the dialog. Once I did determine the method of its making, I promptly decided I would like to make one like it in the future.

I searched for a bit but wasn’t able to find a picture that shows it well. Unfortunately this is the best I could find. It’s made with an impossibly bulky yarn on needles that could probably double as table legs, and it’s pointy in the back like an elf hat or something.

On a related note the movie was ok, but felt a bit rushed. I imagine the sheer amount of material they had to cover had something to do with that. I do look forward to the other movies more, as the first book is mainly a setup for the rest of the story.
