triumph of the fangeeks

[anotheranon]

jlsjlsjls warned me over a month ago that the sci-fi fan knitting community had glommed on to Jayne's knitted hat with glee - evidently there just isn't much good knitting in science fiction, so when they see a goodie, they go for it.

However, I never expected the Firefly-fan knitters to create a yarn shortage and achieve knittingdom microcelebrity (found thru betnoir! This just cracks me up, because anyone who's seen the episode knows it's a godawful ugly orange and yellow thing! It's downright unsettlin' </jayne>

No, I can't knit, so no Jayne hat for me, nor any attempt to purchase said hat. D. also has no interest in the hat, but, let's face it - if you've met D. you'd know he's a "Wash" guy, through and through, complete with dry sense of humor and amazing facility with technical equipment. His opinion on plastic dinosaurs: "they're ok". See what I mean?
