Jayne hats! FinishedObjectDance pt. 2

[celticdragonfly]

So I've been working on Jayne hats [1]. I agreed to do one for Ryan, another member of the Dallas Browncoats, and then agreed to do one for Ed Dravecky, our crew captain. Both guys have good sized heads - several inches bigger than typical hat patterns. I thought Ryan's was big until I got the measurements for Ed's. I finished Ed's at ConDFW and as he was sitting next to me at the art auction, I plopped it on his head. Ryan came and picked his up tonight, paid me for the yarn and as agreed, paid my labor fees in Good Chocolate. Ahhhhh....

Ryan's doing his best Big Mean Jayne look here. All he needs is Vera.




Maggie wanted to try it on!

And Jamie gives us a good profile view.



[1] As seen in the series Firefly. And if you haven't seen it, see it, the DVDs are fantastic! Go to Serenity, the movie! It's out at midnight tonight. And the hat I made will BE there at one of the midnight showings! Go see the movie even if you haven't seen the show.

If it weren't for my BunnyBright I'd have to say you've got the Cutest Kids on the Planet all, ah, sewn up :-)

Ryan looks mighty manly; it takes a tough customer to wear that hat and just dare anybody to say word one. The kids just look cutesomes.

Man, you are such an artist! Those look like something you'd buy in a store, no signs of being "homemade". Beautiful.

Heh. The worst thing during the making was that I kept wanting to add more little "nice touches", knitting tricks I know, and had to convince myself NO, do NOT do that, this is supposed to be a Jayne hat, homemade like Ma Cobb, don't pretty it up too much. It's a bit cruder than my usual level of work, frankly.

Y'know, going back and looking at the original pics, I did fancy it up a bit too much - but I couldn't stand to do it any cruder!
