I've collected over 30 pics of it, partly for research, but mostly for inspiration!

Look at the joy & pride spillin' off o' these folk!








But the best has to be...



Have you looked at this pic carefully, people? At his face? It's love, in point of fact. Something a good deal more generous.

I never did learn to knit though I tried. But I wrapped the yarn so tight I bent those big sturdy knitting needles. So my one and only hint would be to keep a light and even tension on your yarn. Hope that helps!

Well , if you can ' knit ' and " reproduce just about anything " , see if you can find a way to get our beloved pilot-savant back ! He needs some repairs...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had some trouble with this. The Reproducer(TM)
naturally turned out items with big holes in
them until we found a way to hack the cleverly
hidden "Canon" setting. However, we are as yet
unable to bring the un-holey result to full,
leaf-floating, wise-cracking life. Further
engineering is required. Definitely math-y plus
craft-y. Heh.

Knitting is manly. I think Rosey Grier, the big bad football player knits!

Doctroid needs to start with a friendlier yarn. It broke on him.
He'd had two minutes of instruction.

If the man can play accordion and do polyhedrous unit origami he can knit.

Might think "knitting machine" instead of
turning yourself into one, at least for rapid
hat results. A lot of the Jayne hats are
hand-framed.
Then kick back and explore the needle method
for the aesthetic pleasure of it.

Heh. Very well put. I was under the impression
that you craved a hat but had then fallen under
the spell of the fiber and the fiber-fiddlers.
But still craved the hat.

Some of the world's best fun can be had while
trying to wrangle cables in intricate patterns.

We shall expect from you no less than a full-size
hand-knit Irish fisherman throw.

After the hat...
