“I’m knitting a sweater”, is actually a quote from Grey’s Anatomy season 2 episode 22, which was made by Dr. Lizzie Stevens. She’s explaining that she is knitting pieces to a sweater to replace the pieces that Meredith is knitting. Meredith has taken a vow of celibacy and has taken up knitting to occupy herself. Lizzy claims that Meredith can’t knit, but she needs to think that she is knitting in order to stick to her vow.
I thought that this would be a funny quote to name my blog after, but the real reason I picked it was because “I may be knitting a ranch house” was already taken. That quote is from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which is quite possibly my favourite movie. Audrey Hepburn’s character, Holly Golightly, takes up knitting, but she’s scared about how her sweater is going to turn out because she thinks her knitting instructions were mixed up with her gentleman caller’s architecture plans for the new ranch house he’s building. Just a sampling of the mixed up wonder that is Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
