CAST YOUR VOTE
You're looking quite beautiful in your off-shoulder pale blue Valentino gown. I am so glad you came dressed to this year's Oscar Knit to cast on your vote!
So, without further adieu - the nominknittees are:
Little Knit Sunshine
What happens when a family, dressed in acrylic sweaters, travels cross country to the Flock and Fiber Festival only to learn their youngest daughter is allergic to wool.
Notes on a Pattern
It’s a nail biting thriller when the knitting teacher learns that her young friend is secretly scribbling inside the pages of her vintage Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern book.
The Pursuit of HappyKnits
This heartwarming story follows the rise of a yarn shop sales girl to a successful knitting store owner backed by the resources of her investment banker husband.
Marie Antoineknitte
Boucle meets cashmere in the flamboyant tale of life in the Crystal Palace where the young fickle queen surrounds herself with the Classic Elite. As she purls the night away, she calls out to her subjects, "Let them knit Cascade!"
The Last Skein of Scotland
A knitter is forced by a mad kilt-wearing dictator to create Argyle socks while listening to bagpipes and searching for the Loch Ness monster.
Knitters from Noro Iro
Many saw Flags Crocheted for Our Fathers. But Not since Saving Private Rowan has there been a piece as moving as this docu-drama that follows the lives of a group of knitters as they heroically prepare to defend their Noro yarn against the impending invasion of the Fighting Felters.
Vote (via comment) and we'll announce the winner after the Martin Scorcese finally wins his Best Director award for Raging Bull.
Ooooo....tough call....but my vote is: Little Knit Sunshine.

I'm going with The Last Skein of Scotland. Yay Forrest Knitaker!!
This is really too funny! I hope you don't mind, but I feel like I have to mention this on my podcast today, since I'm talking about the Academy Awards.

I have to vote for Marie Antoinekitte in all its period piece drama and glory.

The Last Skein of Scotland, because if there was only one last skein in Scotland, it surely would deserve a prize.

These are all sop clever (and I am late anyway), but I have to go for Marie Antioknitte! I'm a sucker for period pieces!
