It rocked. This was the first movie I’ve seen which glamorizes crafting, and only the second that glamorizes stashing[1]. Since I couldn’t find a picture of heroine Stephanie’s kickass 6″x6″ stash cubicles, here’s a picture of her in a convincingly handknit sweater.

I am compelled to contrast this sweater with the So Obviously From Anthropologie sweater that Pam’s mom “handknit” for her in The (American) Office[2].

Anyway, The Science of Sleep would be my keystone pick for a knitting movie series. I was pretty much required to like the film by the time this line was uttered:

“I love Stephanie because she makes things with her hands. It’s as if her synapses were married to her fingers.”

1. Arguably, Harold and Maude is the granddaddy of stasher flicks.
2. Gotta credit Alison from The Blue Blog, who apparently beat me to The Office observation a long time ago. “Does her mother work in a factory for Anthropologie?” HAhaha!
