Krysten Ritter trying to teach Stephen Colbert how to knit is very amusing really. If you’ve ever had a grandmother, aunt, mother, or anyone in your family, female or male, try to teach you how to knit then you know the frustration. It’s something you have to really concentrate on in order to get down, but once you get it your fingers seem to know the movements and can get into it through muscle memory. But until you get there it’s simply too hard to really teach or learn without a few missteps. If you watch Ritter she’s actually getting into it while they’re talking, which is natural since she’s obviously done it a few times. And then you have Colbert simply wrapping the yarn around the sticks until he has a rat’s nest. Again though, it’s not the easiest thing in the world to do, so if you’re going to try then have someone at your side that can give you some kind of instruction. Also remember the pointy end of the sticks needs to stay way from anything sensitive.
On a different note, Krysten Ritter’s career has certainly taken off in the last several years. She was on Breaking Bad at one point alongside Aaron Paul, but after that went on to other projects, notably Jessica Jones and then eventually The Defenders. Her role in those shows has probably been one of the highlights of the MCU considering that Daredevil and Luke Cage, despite have good showings initially, kind of went downhill after a while as the story continued to develop. Iron Fist obviously disappointed a lot of people, but Jessica Jones has managed to capture a lot of viewer’s and hold their attention like nothing else has thus far. It’s fair to say that her presence is a welcome change in the MCU from the normal fare that’s been rolling through during the past decade, as she’s given a different look into the world of heroes and villains than we’re used to.
Plus it’s nice to have women of strength in the MCU at this point since men have been so dominant for so long that it’s become kind of a bore to watch and to think about. Women that can stack up to the men and in some cases even dominate have become more the norm since Jessica Jones and a few others have been announced. Her role in The Defenders was a bit lackluster at times but it’s more her inclusion into the group than anything that has kind of dulled down her appeal just a bit. On her own, Jessica Jones is still a hard-hitting and very popular show. Keeping her at that level while still enabling her interactions with the others is a balance that’s going to be kind of tough it would seem when it comes to maintaining her popularity.
But on the whole Ritter is doing great as her career has gone off in leaps and bounds, propelling her higher and higher as she continues to amaze her fans.
