Hats!
Y’all were right – the gray hat sold first. Go you! I take it to mean there’s a desire for more unisex/masculine stuff. As for me, I made a little purchase – some lip balm with a name I can’t repeat here. Ahem.
Next! I am considering offering some Jayne hat kits, with proceeds going to the American Red Cross for Katrina relief. The kits would include a pom-pom with tail for attaching to finished hat, four stitch markers, enough yarn to make a men’s size large hat and a pattern (exact stitch and row counts for various sizes, a couple of tips on cast-ons and joining colors, etc.). Purchasers would need scissors and needles. The pattern would assume you could knit and purl, and knew what things like “without twisting stitches, join into a circle” mean. I would happily offer technical support via e-mail.
I’m thinking about 10-15 bucks, including shipping (domestic or international would be fine). The pattern would be for non-commercial use only, as my other very similar pattern in this thread is.
I need a test knitter! I’d need you to follow the pattern exactly and tell me of any inaccuracies, confusion, etc. and to tell me how the finished product turns out. I need very honest feedback – my skin is quite thick. Any takers?
Me oh me! I’ll test knit for you. Except ooh, what needle sizes? The only DPNs I have are size 10, which may be a little big. Shoot me an email at jeneral at gmail dot com.
I also think the kit is a great idea. 🙂

If you need a test knitter who has basically no experience with patterns, I’m your girl :-). Otherwise, I might buy one of the kits and wait till I’m home where my mommy can explain all the confusing bits to me. I’d probably buy a finished hat, if you put one up there.
