I was already familiar with Autistic, mega-mind Temple Grandin from an interview with her on NPR’s Fresh Air but it was after watching HBO’s movie about her life (thus far), that I became aware of the full scope of her greatness. If you get a chance, I highly recommend checking this one out (see HBO’s schedule for next airing)! In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of a little knitwear representation in the biopic that will undoubtedly, win its leading lady an Emmy nod.
Claire Danes as “Temple”, wearing a Fair Isle Moose Pull-Over
I’ll have to look into that one. Sounds interesting. On another note, have you seen “Bright Star”, about John Keats? Beautiful knit- and crochetwear in it.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long long time! My sister wanted me to “tape” it for her. I taped and watched–and was hooked. Claire Danes needs to win BIG for this one! FABULOUS!
