Kiss My Knits!

The unexpected thing that I knit for someone has arrived, and so now I can talk about it. It was a Jayne hat. This is that hat that Jayne Cobb’s mother sent to him on the sci-fi TV show “Firefly.” It’s just ludicrous looking, and there are no two ways around it. (Yes, that’s my husband, God love him.)

Someone had a pattern up, but I thought the earflaps should be bigger and that it should come in more abruptly at the top, so I made up my own pattern, which I posted in the knitting community here.

So Cadaya, I hope you enjoy it, because I sure as hell had fun making it. 🙂

ETA 7/10/07: For posterity’s sake, let me note that this was my very first Jayne hat. Little did I know…

Soap volunteers, I’m sorry, I’m going to need to cancel the soap. Tessima was my table buddy for Simucon, so I need to step back and think about what I want to do on that front.

It seems like every GM I wanted to see at Simucon won’t be there, for one reason or another.

I already miss the recent off-staff people. Sigh.
