Pattern: Magknits.com July 2006 issue
Yarn: Phildar Reporter (4.5 balls) in Violet colorway
Designer: Alexandra @ artisokka.com
Needles: Size US 5
Modifications: I used a smaller needle size to get gauge with this yarn. The pattern calls for a gathering in the bust, but I never got the right "look", so I left it as a scoop neck. I am happy with the plain front.
Modeled by my sister, Sarah - not the sister who is getting it! Unfortunately Mimi is moving and this will not get to her in time if I mail it, so I am holding on to it until she is in her new place. Sarah is also modeling my recently completed Rasta Hat.

youtu.be/ggjGmQ1Welw?t=24s The Lost World ,1925 Silent Full Feature
Directed by William Dowling. Starring Bessie Love, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone and Lloyd Hughes.
More than 80 years after its release, the first adaptation of "The Lost World" remains as one of the most influential silent films ever, due to Willis O'Brien pioneer advances in the field of special effects, as it showcases the first time stop motion animation was used to create creatures on a feature length film. These innovation was of huge importance for this and future films, and earned Willis O'Brien and his dinosaurs a place in history as an iconic image in film history, only surpassed by another of O'Brien's creations: King Kong.
Based on Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name, "The Lost World" is the tale of Prof. Challenger's (Wallace Beery) epic quest looking for the living dinosaurs who supposedly live in the deep Amazonic jungle, according to the journal of his fellow explorer Maple White, who disappeared in his last exploration. Maple's daughter, Paula (Bessie Love) joins the expedition looking for her missing father, as well as Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), an experienced hunter friend of Challenger. Prof. Summerlee (Arthur Hoyt) goes as well, hoping to prove that Challenger is a fraud, and finally, reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes) joins the expedition, hoping to prove his girlfriend Gladys (Alma Bennet) that he is brave enough to face death.
Cleverly adapted by Broadway playwright Marion Fairfax (who also adapted in 1922 another of Conan Doyle's works, "Sherlock Holmes"), the film is an excellent mix of action and adventure that even when it's not entirely faithful to the novel, keeps the spirit of wonder and fascination with the unknown. From the obsessive Challenger to the incredulous Summerlee, every character is very detailed and for the most part well constructed, giving each one of them a defined personality and a certain degree depth absent in many silent films.
However, the film's best remembered characteristic is the incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien, who after mastering his craft in short films got his first work in "The Lost World" and changed special effects forever. His imagery is very vivid, and very detailed considering the limited resources he had. Sadly, Harry O. Hoyt's direction takes zero advantage of Fairfax's story and O'Brien's effects, and delivers a simplistic and unoriginal work that adds nothing to the whole work and seems to let the cast and crew do their job. It's not a bad direction as a whole, but it feels uninterested on the many possibilities a film like this posses.
The cast is quite effective, and really does a great job with what they have, starting with legendary Wallace Beery, who as Prof. Challenger delivers one of the best performances in a silent film. Without the aid of sound, Beery shows a wide range of emotions in his complex character and is great in both drama and comedy. Lloyd Hughes is very good as the cowardly Malone, and showcases a talent for comedy as well as a romantic figure, as his character shows interest in Paula White, played by Bessie Love, who makes a fine counterpart to Hughes and delivers a natural, and fresh performance. Lewis Stone completes the cast and his dignified performance as Sir John Roxton is very effective.
It's safe to say that "The Lost World" owes more to O'Brien and Fairfax than to O'Hoyt, and that probably with a more experienced director the film would had been even better. However, the film's real problem has nothing to do with the way it was made, but with the way it was preserved during most of its history. Nowadays there is not a complete version of the movie, most home video versions are of the 64 minutes version, while one (Image) is of a 93 minutes reconstruction. And while probably that version is the closest we can be to the original runtime of the film, it sadly has modernized the dialogs, to the point that some lines are rewritten to fit our modern standards.
Hopefully, one day we'll be able to see "The Lost World" as it was intended to be, but meanwhile, we can still appreciate the enormous importance of its amazing special effects, and how it forecasts films like "Jurassic Park" in many ways. This epic tale of action, adventure and horror has probably not seen a better adaptation than this, the movie that set everything for the arrival of King Kong and changed special effects for ever.
About Yvonne's desk...
The state of my desk goes in cycles - piles of paper accumulate for days and then I'll have a tidying up fit and put things in order. This is relatively tidy.
My desk diary is one of the few things that's central to my work and is not digital - the other is my reporter's notebook.
The pyramid-shaped object on the left of the window ledge is my lucky Buddha penholder - at the beginning of every month I turn it upside down and shake it, and a shower of coins falls into the basket that the Buddha-figure is holding over his head. As I'm a freelance, I'll try anything to encourage the money to flow in.
The miniature hurricane lamp on the right of the desk is a novelty pencil sharpener my mum bought me - because I was trained in Pitman's shorthand which requires you to write thick and thin strokes, I find it easier to read my notes if they're made in pencil.
My most important work tool is my computer, but you can't see it because I have it positioned on a table at right angles to my desk, so the daylight hits it from the side. That way I get plenty of light but it doesn't fall on the screen and make it hard to read.
