Knitertainment

Every now and then I document even the most mundane instances of knitting in films when I come across them. If you're in search of examples, doing an Internet Movie Database search with the keyword "knitting" produces an interesting list of the best knitting titles.

I reckon that "best" means highest rated with knitting listed as a keyword, not best knitting content. For instance, the top entry is for a Newsradio episode. Even as a big fan of the show, I don't recall a lot of knitting action, but sure enough, there's Maura Tierney knitting (or faking it) in the last forty seconds of the "Daydream" episode.

The second entry is for a 2005 short The Knitting Machine. Yep, it's another art installation piece, this time with two backhoes wielding utility pole "needles" to knit an American flag.

So, if you're in need of entertainment with at least a modicum of knitting in it, there are 92 other titles in the list for your perusal.
