The Cider House Rules

I'm a huge John Irving fan, and I thought this film adaptation of one of his best novels was pretty successful. Charlize Theron is, as usual, unbelievably gorgeous, and I really liked two of her sweaters in the film, both designed by knitwear designer Linda Daniels.

This warm cabled pullover - perfect for those blustery New England fall days :

I also really liked this simple, feminine boatneck sweater:

Linda Daniels published the Cider House boatneck pullover in her book, The Northampton Wools Knitting Book.

The cabled pullover was published in Interweave Knits Fall 2000.

Bonnie and Clyde

In this 1967 classic with Faye Dunway and Warren Beatty, Faye is particularly stunning when she is wearing this gorgeous, intricate short-sleeved sweater featuring super-flattering waist-shaping:



Eunny Chang made a fabulous Bonnie-inspired sweater back in the day, but sadly there is no pattern available for it, as far as I know. KnitLit's version is even closer to the original. Love the three-quarter length sleeves. It looks like she adapted a Tahki Stacy Charles pattern but I wasn't able to locate it. Any ideas?
In the meantime, Stella's Blouse, an Interweave Knits pattern published in Spring 2004, is awfully close.
