MOVIE MONDAY: Mildred Pierce, Part 1 & 2
Last night HBO debuted their version of the classic film, Mildred Pierce. Not quite a remake of the original (1945, starring Joan Crawford), director Todd Haynes takes the more in-depth approach into the life of a working mother in the 30’s and the tumultuous relationship with her sociopathically-ungrateful daughter.
Academy award winning actresses; whip-smart script; fantastic costuming–this one is a must-see! In the meantime, here’s a glimpse at how knit & crochet were represented in the 1st parts, of the 5-part miniseries.

Love the chunky sweater with a cami. So cozy + chic.
A non-crafting magazine, not a movie – I was looking through the June 11, 2011 copy of Ladies Home Journal at the doctor’s office and saw a colorful entrelac shawl on page 20. Found the image via a google search here:

I love love the hat. But, where would you find a pattern like that? I shall dig …
