Nearly 200 people in Vienna, Austria, gathered recently to enjoy two fun activities at the same time.

奥地利维也纳的近200人聚集在一起，同时享受了两项有趣的活动。

They worked with needles and yarn. And they watched a movie together called The Devil Wears Prada.

他们用针和纱线工作。他们一起看了一部名为《穿普拉达的恶魔》的电影。

"It sounds a bit like a grandmother, but it's relaxing.And…what's wrong with letting the grandmother in us express herself," joked Austrian Alexander Koch. He is a 28-year-old who crochets.

奥地利亚历山大·科赫（Alexander Koch）开玩笑说：“这听起来有点像祖母，但很放松。……让我们内心的祖母表达自己有什么问题。” 他是一个28岁的钩针编织。

Knitting or crocheting while watching movies has gained popularity in Europe.

看电影时的编织或钩针编织在欧洲越来越受欢迎。

Luisa Palmer was one of the organizers of the event. Palmer said that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, "A lot of people started knitting during the lockdown alone at home." Palmer launched the knitting evenings once a month at Votiv Kino, a place to watch movies in the center of the Austrian capital.

路易莎·帕尔默（Luisa Palmer）是活动的组织者之一。 帕尔默（Palmer）说，在19日期的大流行期间，“很多人就在家里就开始编织。” 帕尔默每月在奥地利首都中心观看电影的场所每月开展编织晚会。

"Now we need to find ourselves…" in real life, the 30-year-old told the French News Agency (AFP) before the event.

“现在我们需要找到自己……”在现实生活中，这位30岁的年轻人在活动开始前告诉法国新闻社（法新社）。

People are knitting, eating, or even breastfeeding babies while watching a movie. This movement is the latest attempt to add different things to the movie-watching experience, said Lisa Stolze. She is a spokesperson for Votiv Kino, the movie house.

人们在看电影时在编织，进食，甚至是母乳喂养的婴儿。 丽莎·斯托兹（Lisa Stolze）说，这项运动是为电影观看体验添加不同事物的最新尝试。 她是电影屋Toviv Kino的发言人。

To avoid knitting mistakes, a soft light remains on during the movie. This also helps to increase exchanges between the attendees.

为了避免编织错误，电影期间柔和的光线仍然亮着。 这也有助于增加与会者之间的交流。

Organizers based their event on similar ones in the United States, Northern Europe, Germany and France. Since launching in December of 2024, the movie events in Vienna are usually full.

组织者将其活动基于美国，北欧，德国和法国的类似活动。 自2024年12月上映以来，维也纳的电影活动通常很满。

"I usually knit while watching movies or listening to podcasts at home, so movie theaters are the perfect place for this activity," said Kaja Vospernik. She is a 23-year-old fashion student.

Kaja Vospernik说：“我通常在看电影或在家听播客时编织，因此电影院是这项活动的理想场所。” 她是一名23岁的时尚系学生。

As the movie plays, the colorful projects take shape. The film takes a back seat, meaning it is less important than the work of knitting or crocheting. Everyone shows off their work. Experienced knitters and crocheters help beginners learn new skills.

电影播放时，色彩鲜艳的项目就会成形。 这部电影坐下了座位，这意味着它不如编织或钩编的工作重要。 每个人都炫耀他们的工作。 经验丰富的编织者和钩针编织者可以帮助初学者学习新技能。

"You can come alone and knit in silence to relax. But if you are looking for company, this kind of event seems to me to be the right choice," said Judith Haslöwer.

朱迪思·哈斯洛维尔（JudithHaslöwer）说：“你可以独自一人来默默地放松一下。但是，如果您正在寻找公司，在我看来，这种事件似乎是正确的选择。”

She is another organizer of the event.

她是活动的另一个组织者。

People attend the events for several reasons. Some say the events let them reconnect with something real that is not on a computer. Others say they can “slow down a little.”

人们参加活动的原因有几个。 有人说这些事件让他们与不在计算机上的真实事物重新连接。 其他人说他们可以“放慢一点”。

Palmer said, "Doing something with your ten fingers is still more rewarding…" than working at a computer all day.

帕尔默说：“用十个手指做某事仍然比整天在计算机上工作更有意义。”

She added that picking the right movie is also important. Palmer likes to watch a good "cozy comedy” that she has already seen. She joked that it is best to avoid scary movies. They can make you jump causing you to lose your place in your knitting.

她补充说，挑选正确的电影也很重要。 帕尔默（Palmer）喜欢观看她已经看到的一部好的“舒适喜剧”。她开玩笑说最好避免恐怖电影。他们可以让您跳跃，使您在编织中失去自己的位置。
