Anyone seen the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy movie? (yes, it's yarn-related)

What did you think of the knitted improbablity?



For those who haven't seen the movie, there is a scene where the spaceship and everything inside, including the people, turns into knitting, and the scene proceeds with animated knitted models. Eventually, the main character, Arthur Dent, gets sick...and the vomit comes out as a stream of brighly colored varigated yarn!



OK, it may not be everyone's cup of tea (or cup of liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea), but I enjoyed it.



I wonder if people will clamor for those patterns the way they did for Martha's poncho.


yeah it's a HOOT Marsha

I was watching this movie with my best friend (also a knitter) and we both insisted that the movie makers would be missing out big time if they didn't print a book with the patterns in it!

I'm thinking it might be better to head right over to

since there's likely to be some sort ofcopyright of the characters. Also, whoever made the characters (Ireally hope they weren't computer generated, they looked too "real" tobe CG, but you never know) may already have the patterns written down.-Amanda

you can buy the knitted toys, but, wow, they're expensive! If I'mgoing to spend that much, I'd rather make them. Marvin is so cute. I don't think they were computer generated...I seem to remember seeing the name of the person who made them in the closing credits.

My mom found these, it's not the pattern, but it's the next best thing.
