I have a habit of watching movies with an eye for knitting or crochet.  Each time the ladies in Orange is the New Black talk about crochet, I’m all over it.  And when we were watching Muppet Treasure Island the other night, I couldn’t help but notice this:

Do you see that, to the left?

Yes, one of the muppets on the ship is knitting their pirate flag, and to all appearances, it looks like Intarsia!  Not only that, but it looks like those needles have to be at least 18″ long: that’s a huge flag.  Imagine having to knit that prop for the scene.  I wonder who made it.

I happen to love all the visual gags that are in the muppet movies, but I’ve never seen a knitting one before.
