Where no Knitter has gone before

[kaitou]

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?

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. :-)

*perks*

.... Easter egg???

It's on the fourth DVD of the set. Instructions can be found here. Or you can just borrow our DVD of Done the Impossible: The Fans' Tale of Firefly & Serenity which has it on there without jumping through hoops or pressing gorram buttons and finding the gorram ornament!

Woo! I have added you back.

I love how many Jayne hat patterns there are on Ravelry. Actually, there's even an LJ comm JUST for knitting Jaune hats. http://community.livejournal.com/bigdamnknitters/

This has some neat patterns aside from the hat, including the intarsia for a Blue Sun logo!
