    Yes! Now, I can put together my love of arts and crafts and my love of sci-fi and create awesome needlepoint.
    Which reminds me, I need to finish off my Janye hat.

    @geesejuggler: A Jayne hat with the "Reavers attack" needlepoint would be great.

    Shouldn't it be, "Reavers Attack. You have been raped to death"?

    The husband and I each have a Tom Baker scarf (mine's 3/4 scale b/c I'm way shorter than Baker).


    Sadly, my knitting source (Mom) passed away, so I don't have the Jayne hat that I otherwise would.


    Those Twilight mittens be UGLY.

    @geesejuggler: I'd like it longer to cover my ears.


    If you make it much smaller, could you use it as a yarmulke? Because that would be very cool at synagogue.

    You can almost get away with wearing the Jayne hat in public during cold weather. The Cylon one, not so much.
