There can be no doubt that Hand Knitting is no longer the pastime of days gone by. Not only has it had a new wave of cool on our streets with flash mobs around the world changing normal everyday city life into objets d`Art (A Helsinki knit-guerrilla with hearts took place in one August morning: 154 hand knitted hearts were left on 5 trams and 5 metro trains all over the city ) but we can see our finest Hollywoood actors taking the hobby to dizzy heights.
We've known about Sarah Jesssica Parker, Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts and others turning to hand knitting on set in between takes, but young actress Dakota Fanning, who plays 70`s rock chick Cherie Currie in the new biopic "The Runaways", with debut at the Sundance Festival in Jan, has gone one star-studded step further.
Cherie Currie admits that she became very close to Fanning during filming and was stunned with the gift the teenager gave her at the wrap party.
The real-life rocker adds, "She gave me this beautiful scarf she had knitted on set... It even has a little label sewn on that says 'Knitted by Dakota Fanning'. Isn't that cute?"

The Knitting Academy smiles.... Cute, maybe. Clever, definitely - Rock Chic and Hand Knits are here to stay....
