The Harry Potter scarf knitting is an actual machine as cgi wasn't good enough at that time 😅

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

The knitted sock with the crochet hook was hilarious! 🧶I agree that straight needles are used more because that is the perception of what knitting looks like.

[@n.m.dooley1951]

Morticia,Addams was played by Carolyn Jones in the TV series. She was a fabulous knitter. Every thing in the show, she actually made. Ms. Hepburn is knitting in an English/ Scottish hybrid style. Many knitters In Ireland and Scotland actually hold one needle under their armpit to knit. It is quite amazing to see.

[@darrickwhite1986]

The name of the style that Audrey Hepburn was using is called lever knitting.

[@angelagenx6629]

If I weren’t a knitter, I would picture a pair of straights and a ball of yarn. Circulars probably don’t envoke the vision of stereotypical “Hollywood” knitting. I learned on straights in the early 2000’s and used circulars if I needed to knit in the round, but having to buy a different circular size and length when a pattern called for a size I didn’t have stunk! It made me hate knitting in the round because the needles, more the plastic cord, made it an unpleasant experience, plus back then, you couldn’t just order the needle size you needed and get it in a few days, you had to go to a store that carried knitting supplies and if you lived in the boonies, like me, that meant driving about an hour to go get them. More patterns, particularly sweater patterns, were knit flat and seamed together, so straights were the go to. I think I remember interchangeables coming out a few years after I learned. I didn’t hop on the interchangeable bandwagon until last year and I’ll never go back.

Audrey Hepburn knit in real life and the way she’s knitting in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is her authentic knitting style! I think it was a fairly common way to hold your straight needles and yarn back in the day. She would also knit on the set of movies in between scenes.

[@ashb5733]

Also, in New Girl it seems like maybe someone gave them all a very quick tutorial on how to knit and crochet then left them to figure it out lol.

[@darrickwhite1986]

Audrey Hepburn was lever knitting

[@KarllaKatharinyRios]

some of the girls in New girl were doing crochet, only Jess was knitting. They were terrible at it.

[@Eloraurora]

I want to say the Stitch & Bitch books (or possibly the Yarn Harlot) had a few sidebars on knitterly movies you might watch during a craft night. And the all-straight-needles, all the time is definitely a public perception thing; Elizabeth Zimmerman was singing the praises of circular needles decades ago.

[@smason8198]

Katherine Heigl (Izzy) does knit! She used to have a knitting blog I believe!

[@dianet3451]

I've crocheted Christmas stockings, toe up, with the waistcoat/split single crochet stitch. It absolutely looks like stockinette, but it's not stretchy, so you couldn't make socks that are wearable. But you can achieve the look

[@sarahburkhardt2037]

Oh my gosh, I love love your background/art print in your knitting corner of bear in the big blue house.

[@KitKatEloisa]

I was knitting with circular needles in public and a woman commented " Oh you are knitting but those are weird needles " I think those not familiar with knitting are just used to the classic straight needles.

[@lauraberkholtz7959]

I think in Gilmore girls, they just didn’t have circular needles in the prop department, because I was definitely knitting with circular needles at that time.

[@knitty781]

1) No, the knitting in HP movies is all very fake looking. 2) Audrey Hepburn did know how to knit, so she probably was knitting the red dress. 3) My son manages a sports bar and I've taken my knitting there during games while sipping a drink. The yarn is usually in team colors for good luck. His friends always chuckle but they know I'm his mom. And I believe Kathryn Heigl does know how to knit. 4) I didn't watch New Girl 5) I have some circulars from the 70s. They weren't as nice as the ones I buy today, but they are circs. 6) She should have taught Lurch like I taught my grandsons. Stab it, strangle it, pull out it's guts, and drop it off the cliff. They love saying that when they knit.

[@annsuma28]

i'm a beginning knitter and your technique sounds so true. definitely what i want to do when i get worked up over the simplest movements!

[@darrickwhite1986]

Lever knitting style is what Audrey Hepburn was using

[@Chihuatlan]

Well now I think I need to watch Grey's Anatomy. That second scene of it makes a difference for some reason.

[@goldstarsforall]

The thing is, no one knows how to knit on TV. but aardman can use stop motion to perfectly do it.

[@Chihuatlan]

You can do a sock in crochet in various stitches, including some stitches that look like stockinette, and yes, you can do them toe up or cuff down.

[@oliviaogden1101]

Probably half-double (double in the UK, I think) through the back loop.

[@Chihuatlan]

@@oliviaogden1101 Yeah, herringbone is a popular choice.
