Where no Knitter has gone before

You know, one of my favorite things about Star Trek has got to be the knitter's reaction. I'm on a couple of Geek groups on Ravelry (if you knit or crochet and you don't know Ravelry you need to go sign up right now) and the reaction there has been hilarious and awesome.

Already there's a pattern up for Scotty's Knit Hat.

And there are multiple threads devoted to Spock's sweater. I give it 3 weeks before there's a pattern.

It seems to me that there are 3 geek projects that any geeky knitter has to make at least one of.

  1. Harry Potter Scarf

  2. Jayne Hat

  3. 4th Doctor Scarf



I know there's more, but I think those are the big three. Let me know if I'm missing an obvious one, I'm a bit ditzy today. I ought to get around to making some of these at some point. What do you think I should try?

I admit it, I made a Jayne Hat. Someone at my LYS is making the Dr. Who scarf. I don't have the patience for the long scarf plus it looks like it will be a tripping hazard!

Found you on Ravelry and friended you. The Jayne Hat is in my projects. On one of the Firefly DVDs there is an Easter Egg of Adam Baldwin wearing the hat singing the Man Called Jayne song. That bit has the best views of the original hat and I picked the pattern that I thought matched it the best. :-)

Make a Jayne hat! \o/

(I made a DW scarf-- the purple/plum one-- back when I was a wee fanling, way longe ago than I'm willing to admit to just now. I still have it. ^__^)
