I made this!
This is a hoodie I knitted for my nephew Ollie. It looks much better on him instead of on a hanger, but he wasn't available for the photo shoot.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
What a fun book to read. We read this for book club and then watched the movie (which wasn't necessary since we've all seen it so many times we were quoting the whole thing). It is better to know from the beginning that Goldman wrote it all, there is no S. Morgenstern. You feel less duped. I thought it was really obvious that Goldman is the true author (his humor is the same throughout, there's no way the language is from the era Goldman claims it is from), but, I do remember thinking it really was an abridgment when I read it in high school or junior high. And a lot of the ladies at book club didn't know the whole thing is fake either. Some decided they didn't like the book just because they felt deceived by the author. It is so funny though. And you get all this background information about Inigo, Fezzik and Buttercup. I love the way he tries to place the book in time... "This was before Europe," then later he talks about Paris. Also, when he describes...
lovely! ollie looks so cute in it... i'll send you some pictures of him modeling it. very nicely done. what are you working on these days? you should post a picture of your alien scarf...
ReplyDeleteOh, I should post pictures of the scarf. That was a fun project. Right now I'm almost finished making a sweater for Leah, and I will definitely post photos when I'm done. I just have to weave in ends and sew on buttons. I get so ridiculously excited when I finish things!
