I have been hearing about I Knit for a while, thinking they are just like us outcastians - they like to KIP, they watch movies, compare knit ratings and it appears an all consuming passion.
So here they are on Ravelry and even better, there is an online shop, blog, a club and a film club - knitty heaven
Now, low and behold they are going one step further and presenting the first KNIFTAS, Knitting in Film and Television Awards..., full info here.
Fancy a knit night on tour trip? Or day out to the I Knit Day in September? Or even have any ideas of what you would nominate for the following categories?
Worst knitting/crochet/craft scene
Best knitting/crochet/craft scene
Best knitwear
The rules are that all nominated films must have played in UK/US cinemas, or been shown on UK/US television between 1st January 2007 and 29th February 2008.
Nominations to be posted here or on the Ravelry I knit group message board, where you also argue/discuss the other nominations.

I know it's not a film but I saw some fantastic knitwear tonight in 'Madmen' on BBC4. Fabulous 1950's style cardigans and tops - ooooh lovely. Can't wait until next Sunday to watch it again - I'll be there with my sketch book next time - getting up close to the screen to work out the stitches. I'll get back to you on the film nominations. What a great idea.
I watched the film 'Carrington' last night. Lytton Strachey is seen knitting in a lovely armchair at Charleston House. I'd like to vote this as the best knitting scene that I've spotted so far! I'll keep looking tho.
