the road

December 4, 2009

remember way back when i knit for a movie?  well, said movie has finally come out!  it should be post-apocolyptic and dang creepy.  and i have not made it to the movie theatre to see it yet.  for shame.  i can tell you that i knit a hat for robert duvall… the sweater for viggo (we’ll just pretend he’s wearing the one i knit).  the hat the kid/mom are wearing (6x!) and 2 more hats.  i’ll report back with who’s wearing what when i see it.

  3. Congrats, Cosy! I’m looking forward to the movie!


  4. I saw it! & I totally spotted the knitting. & parts of pgh. that ribbed hat was in practically every scene. congratulations, again!


  5. How sweet is that?! That movie looks really creepy! I will be thinking about the warm, cozy hand knitting that helped costume the film when I get scared :)


  6. wow! congratulations!


  7. So cool! I want to see it but it’s not out in Kalamazoo yet. It’ll be neat to see your name in the credits!


  8. Awesome. I’ll probably be able to read the book first since it’s not showing in my area…yet. At least there’s Netflix.


  9. That is the coolest thing!! Congratulations


  10. So awesome! Viggo Mortenson is one of my faves.


  11. Can’t wait to see it, Cosy!


  12. When I saw the ad in the paper for that movie, I ran over to one of my co-workers and said, “My friend Cosy knitted garments for this movie!” So exciting!!


  13. Saw the movie last weekend. Great film, would love to see it again. I noticed the hat right away. The Boy wore it throughout the film and it looked more ragged and distressed than the one in the flashbacks (it was his mom’s hat) worn by Charlize Theron. So did you make 2 of the same hat? If not then they must have shot Theron’s scenes before the boy’s scenes.
    Anyway, congrats! I very much noticed your work!


  14. hey Cos
    i found 3 links
    1 hat
    1 sweater
    1 movie

    is that it?
    b. :)


  15. Great News about the knitting- I will have to watch for updates because it is not something I would usually watch. It is interesting to me because a knitting friend of mine was key hair stylist for this movie. Small world.

    Still loving working on the baby belle :)


    • totally a small world!


  16. just saw The Road last night – that main hat is in it like crazy! I loved watching it get more felted and pilly as the movie went on, like the hat showed the passing of time… for fiber nerds like us anyway…

    So cool to see your knits on the big screen!
