Wow--I'm glad to know I'm not just shooting in the dark here.

Okay, here's the deal then: I've posted the best picture I have of the hat on my website (link below). (I've *just* started setting it up, so don't expect to find much else there.) If any of you have a better image of it, let me know and I can better approximate the thing. I can pause the DVD, but I don't know how to save a still on my computer.

I can post knitting patterns on my website, too--if any of you are so inclined. It really is ridiculously easy.

I'll go shopping for yarn this weekend. It's hard to approximate the colors, since they're not really popular, but I think I can get them. (The one I did for my husband made do with some colors that weren't as dead-on as I would like. Which is why I won't put a picture of *that* on my website. )

I'll be traveling for three weeks, which is a perfect time to knit. So I can try to do them all at once, and then send them out at the end of February. Which is really the only time I can do it, since I'll be in Asia for those three weeks. Unless any of you live in Asia?

Here's what I need from you:

Email me your name, address, and head size. If you want, you can just say "biggish" or whatever, but if you want guarantees the thing will fit, tell me the circumference of your head at the forehead. My email: f3k64@yahoo.com

Oh, and get it to me by January 28, if you want the hat done in this first batch.

I would think that natural would give a better look, but synthetic may be more cost effective. My experience with crocheting has been that synthetic yarn is generally cheaper than natural wool/fabric (for whatever stupid reason).

For a better look at the hat colors and such, you could try looking at the Easter egg. Adam wears the hat in that and the lighting is nice and bright.

I was thinking about Jayne's hats on the drive into work today. I suddenly realized that it is very intersting that Jayne wears hats in several episodes. After all, Joss states categorically that he intended that in this world the bad guys wear hats. I've seen it in print and he explains it again in the audio commentaries.

Does that seem right to you?

In my humble opinion, it is as simple as this...Jayne only wears hats some of the time. And he is only "bad" some of the time.

Around 22:05 on the DVD version is the scene when they're ripping apart the crate with the body (after the police hail them), and jayne's got the hat on in full view, there's a nice shot of it (see the whole hat in good light), only I can't capture for some reason. (right as he says "magical wish-granting planks")

then in the infirmary: these are when he steps into the non-blue light:
24:03 - when he's about to get the pan
24:25 - when he's holding the pan and then walking to the sink (here you only see the bottom well)

Hope this helps.

About putting other stuff on the hat (blue sun, firefly):

Not on the ones I've been doing for most people, but email me at f3k64@yahoo.com and we can talk.
