5 Celebrities That Knit
As many of you might know, in my former life, I was a stage manager. Back in my theater days, I worked with all types of talent that were knitters to the core. Since in theater, there’s a lot of “hurry up and wait”, having your knitting with you in rehearsal or even backstage can be a sanity saver. So it’s no surprise to me that a lot of our Hollywood favorites are a part of our club, especially since knitting in itself, is another form of creative expression. To celebrate our love of crafting, creativity, and community, let’s take a look at 5 celebrities that knit.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This one probably doesn’t come as a big surprise to knitters, but yep, this “Sex and the City” star has often been seen knitting on set. In a Good Housekeeping article, Sarah was asked how she relaxes. Her response was, “I read, watch TV, or knit. But I try to knit and watch TV at the same time, which means I end up with many dropped stitches”. I think we’ve all made this mistake once, or twice (or more), am I right?
Demi Lovato
Amanda Seyfried
Ryan Gosling
Christina Hendricks
I love the community that knitting forms. From the cruises to Rhinebeck, Stitches shows, Vogue Knitting, and more, it fills my heart with joy to be around my fellow crafters.
Knitting is always fun when you do it with others, and that’s why I love Knit-Alongs. It’s probably why you do too! You get to knit in a place where you feel comfortable, while also staying connected to others who will gladly help you out and answer questions you have along the way. Now, if you’re interested in joining along in the fun, I suggest you take a gander at my first Knit-Along of the year: the Labadee Cowl KAL. If you love slip stitch and intriguing patterns, I think you’ll enjoy it!
Jay Dennings
I know this is an old article, but would you please change Demu Lovato’s pronouns? They use They/them now.
Yes, you’re right this was written 2 years before Demi (I assmume you meant) declared their pronouns. Thanks!
