I finally got to the movie (after surviving a ridiculous illness brought home by my husband 🙁 ). Here is what I wrote on Ravelry:
Finally got to the movie! I loved it. Seeing the shawl on the screen was amazing. I wore mine to the movie, but certainly without the elegance and style of Lupita! She is so gorgeous and looked amazing in the shawl.
I wanted to stand up and scream, but went to the movie by myself…AWKward!! I really did love the movie!!
I am not sure if any of you noticed, but I received a wonderful comment from Jeff Gillies’ mom – Jeff designed and made the original scarf for the movie!
I am blown away as I read all the comments on Knitting and this particular Infinity scarf! Being in Sewing – Alterations and quilting, knitting is new to read about. Whereas I know how to knit and crochet, sewing has been my niche.
I am Jeff’s mother who has been able to watch him create and design, then put those creations/designs into action on the knitting machine and see the finished product. What an amazing experience! Not because Jeff is my son but just to watch anyone work a knitting machine and put it into action is to me a marvel. 🙂 🙂
I have a dear friend who has been a knitter all the years I’ve known her, and made many a beautiful sweater for her kids, grandkids, family and friends. So accomplished! Remember “Dr. Who” TV show. He had this loooong scarf of many different colors that Jeff’s younger brother so admired! So for Christmas Jeff knitted that scarf and Jason still wears it on occasion. That was Jeff’s first knitting experience and began to be hooked into knitting and later sewing costumes.
I think it’s great when people notice and give credit to those talented in designing costumes and other items for movies, plays, operas, etc. for the enjoyment of the public.
Love reading the interaction between you who love this craft. 🙂 🙂

Is that cool or what??
Your infinity scarf turned out beautiful. Having Jeff’s mom leave a comment is in the same league as Meg Swanson leaving a comment on something you knit from a pattern Elizabeth Zimmerman wrote. Congrats!
