I always have problems with scenes in movies and on TV in which someone is knitting something--it's always usually a tiny, insubstantial piece of work that functions as a mere prop rather than the huge pieces in progress that real people usually work on. When I see someone knitting on the screen I need to know exactly what is being knitted in order to convince myself that it is not just play-acting. Is there ever such a scene, for instance, in which someone drops a stitch and tries to retrieve it while speaking lines of dialogue? Or is casting on stitches? Or is knotting two loose ends of yarn together?
