I’ve been trying to keep a diary of my progress and doing ok with it but am way behind with the photos to go with the posts.
Only the first post is posted so far (which explains what Ravelympics is), and I’m reminding myself that there’s plenty of time to take and post the photos but […]
So the other day, I log into Ravelry and find a fun message from a nice lady named Beth.
Hi there, I plopped onto your profile from the Evangeline site. I have to tell you how much I like your Jayne hats. I showed my son - a Firefox/Serenity fan but NOT a knitting fan […]
First off, to explain Ravelympics, you need to know that Ravelry is a fantastic community site for knitters and crocheters providing not only community boards for discussing our projects on but also a huge database of yarns and patterns for inspiration.
Ravelympics is an community wide event where people are making projects within the timeframe of […]
Preface: This post ended up being an ongoing diary to myself about knitting Jayne hats for the CA Browncoats to sell at Comic Con 2008 in late July.

For design ideas.
Now that I’m all into knitting and really enjoying it, I keep getting design inspirations that I don’t want to forget about.
Right now I have at least 4 different ideas for fingerless glove patterns. Two inspired by movies and it wasn’t til today that I realized the irony that the first movie was […]
that not everyone has a giant banner in their apartment featuring drag queens.
In other news, TGIF and man do I want to get pizza from Two Brothers (officially known as Stefano’s Two Guys From Italy), cast on for something new and watch dvds for the rest of the day.
Even though I haven’t finished the Grandma […]
Lesson learned: always make sure the halves of the pompom maker are facing each other correctly otherwise it’s a PITA to get them apart off the pompom.
Not fond of making them so just made myself make a whole bunch so that I don’t have to for a while… kept going til I ran out of […]
Anyone who loves Firefly is familiar with the monstrosity of a hat that Jayne’s mudder knitted for him. It’s become a thing to knit/have as a badge of “fandom” and also because it’s just plain fun.
Yesterday I finally went to the Michaels with my store credit and picked up yellow & orange yarn for the […]
