Chocolate and knitting

The Bucket boy
Tonight I saw "Charlie and the chocolate factory", and I loved it. A perfect movie for a dark grey rainy day, which makes it a bit silly that we went to see it on a true summer's night in September. Ah well. I was thinking about the Bucket family and their house and all the lovely knitted things there. (I can't link to the individual photos, but look under photos, there is one picture of the big bed where all the grandparents sleep, wearing tweed and knits.) Everything is threadbare and muted and very beautiful. Charlie's sweater is a lovely piece of Fair isle knitting, I wonder if someone has reproduced it (yet). It is of course easy to miss it for all the shiny amazing stuff that flows through the movie, but look here
There are even trading cards with small pieces of the sweater.

I'm afraid my boys would prefer Mike Tevee's skull t-shirt, but maybe I should try to pick out the Charlie pattern anyway, just for fun?
