"A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything."
"Damn straight."
This post is about knitting, so if you're bored by that sort of thing, then feel free to skip it. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to make a Jayne Cobb hat! If any of you have watched Firefly, you'll probably remember the bad-A red, orange, and yellow hat that Jayne's mother made for him.
Being a slow beginner of a knitter, it's taken me two weeks to finish the main part, which is the hat minus the pom-pom and earflaps. I used 8mm straight needles, doubled up the yarn for a thicker weave and used the stockinette stitch, which I also just learned to do (it's simply marvelous how much seemed to pass me by when I was learning to knit a few years ago). I got my pattern from this guy, though I admit that I deviated rather a lot. It was tons of fun to make and I'll be sure to knit more often in the future!
I'll put up pictures of the Finished Product by Wednesday.
