Knitting FO: Jayne Hat

My intention was for a portion of this blog to be devoted to knitting, because lord knows there aren’t enough knitblogs in the world. Especially knitblogs from knitters who churn out run-of-the-mill, entirely uninspiring projects on an irregular basis. Like yours truly.

Seriously…since I started homeschooling the boys, my knitting time has decreased significantly. Take this Jayne Hat for instance. It’s a hat. Simple, right? I started it this summer. And I just completed it. Granted, it sat around waiting for an earflap for ages, but still!

In this photo, I am wearing a Jayne Hat (from Firefly) and a Harry Potter hoodie. Does that mean I am a big geek?

I used a pattern that I can’t even find online anymore- I believe the site in question no longer exists. (It wasn’t one of the more widely used patterns, though.) The hat turned out a bit too slouchy and long (which I tried to correct with blocking, to no avail), but it isn’t horrible for my first ever knitted hat. I have a ton of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride left over, so my intention is to try again with a different pattern.

That is, after I finish Quinn’s quickie sweater…made with 100% acrylic (shudder!)…that he picked out at Wal-mart (shudder!).

On a related note…This Jayne hat cell phone holder? Adorable.

Edited to add: Found it! This was the pattern in question.
