Various and Sundry Links - February 26 2007
- My evil cold came back so I haven't been doing much knitting. Instead, I've been pawing through Glampyre's Fitted Knits and Twinkle's Big City Knits looking for ideas for future projects that I won't actually get around to knitting. Glampyre/Stefanie has created an errata page for her book (I love when designers are on top of that). If you'd like to knitalong or ask questions there is a Fitted Knits Flickr group. There's also a Flickr group for the Twinkle book -- started by Knit Lit Kate, I do believe.
- The montages are my favorite part of the Oscars. Here's a video montage of photos from classic Hollywood as shot by Magnum photographers [via]. I also watch the Oscars for the gowns. My favorite was Anne Hathaway's Valentino. I know it wasn't well liked by others, but I loved it.
- One definite no-show for the Oscars is American Vogue’s editor in chief, Anna Wintour.”No way. I’m off to London to see Equus,” she told me. Asked about the controversial nude scene by Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe – currently Heat magazine’s ‘Torso of the Week’ – Ms Wintour smiled and said:”I’m ready!”. [via]
- Pictaps -- Make a creepy dancing character and then torture your friends with it!
- I know I've been reading too many bag blogs when $1200 for a covetous handbag doesn't seem unreasonable to me. However, this is even more out of control. $148,000 for a bag? Maybe I'll have to stick to goofy handbags like this one. If kate spade is more your thing, you may enjoy taking a peek behind the curtain [via].
- I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister Ashley. Mary-Kate writes for the Times [via]. Not to be outdone, Ashley (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) blogs about the Oscar fashions.
- Now, I've never had a baby, but these felted wool pads just don't seem like a good idea to me. Itchy!
- Cute free pattern alert! The Swiss Cheese Scarf
