Update #1: Knit and crochet for myself: one sweater, one pair of socks, one hat, one pair of mittens/gloves/handwarmers

I have either been knitting for Etsy (for humans and Blythe dolls) or for friends and family for some time now. It's my turn. Plus, I want to level up on my skills; why not practice upon myself?
Challenges Overcome: There's always such excellent knitwear in horror movies, believe it or not. I have my eye on a couple of patterns that match the vintage bobble and cable hat and gloves worn by Zelda Adams in Where the Devil Roams (https://letterboxd.com/film/where-the-devil-roams/) for two of my goals.
Obstacles Faced: The should-haves are the worst hurdle.
Next Steps: Organize my yarn stash and match it up with possible patterns.

Update #2: I found a couple of photos of the knitting from Where the Devil Roams...

The only ones I have been able to find are dark like this one, and don't include the gloves. Guess I'll have to rewatch the movie. Dagnabbit. ;)
