Jayne Cobb Hat! (with pattern)

[Radegund]

really? i might have seen you!
 were you wearing a jayne hat too?

Nope. On Friday I was running around in a Chinese style jacket made out of kids' dinosaur fabric, with speech balloons to have the dinosaurs do the "I think we should call it your grave!" speech.

Ingenious!  Kudos on the dinosaur theme!

I made up my pattern to suit two strands of Australian 8-ply yarns held together (the red is the Lincraft 'Cosy Wool' brand and the yellow and orange are Cleckheaton 8-ply yarns, I think).  I made a beta hat first, and decided I wanted it longer and a little tighter, with narrower ear flaps.  It's a pity the weather is heating up here now, because this hat is so warm!

Looks fabulous, Crumpet!  And hey, a timeless classic like that, you'll still be able to wear next year!

My hat has been a constant and faithful friend during the cold winter months as well, and i am not looking forward to having to put it away now that the days are getting warmer and longer.  I am still determined to wear it to Serenity though...

Where abouts in Australia are you catboy?  I'm in Melbourne...

I used to live in Melbourne, but now i am back in Perth.  Am extremely jealous that you guys are getting Joss introducing a screening of Serenity!
