Knitting soothes writer's soul

Purl. Knit. Purl. Knit. This is the rhythm I must keep up with for my latest knitting project. I even go so far as to say the words out loud as my hands perform the action in the hope that, at least this once, I won’t mess up and have to start over for the fifth time in an hour. To the average person, this type of task may seem tedious and even torturous, but then again, the average person must not understand knitting.

It seems recently there have been three schools of thought on how to make a good movie. First, take a serious topic, hire phenomenal actors and put together a film that does justice to either an actual event or some form of art imitating life. Second, throw so much money at the film that it has to be entertaining regardless of its faults.
