Movie Monday: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Director Tim Burton can often be counted on for weaving knitted items into the scenes of his movies. ย His version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) however, is his finest tribute to the love of yarn!

That’s too funny! I was just watching this movie on TV this weekend and noticing all the fabulous knitting.
Movie Monday – Not really a movie, but the season premier of True Blood showed Sookie picking up an unfinished scarf her grandma had been knitting – pink and purple and fuzzy-looking.
Thanks for sharing!
The first picture, however, looks like it’s from “Sweeney Todd.” Is it?
Beth–Nope. I took that picture personally (of the screen ;))–it’s from Charlie & the Choc Factory.
