What in the KNIT is THAT?

All of you Firefly fans out there will appreciate this one. I must say that as a knitter, I'm slightly horrified.

I have had many a friend ask me how feasible it would be to knit Jayne's lovely orange hat from Firefly. My answer has always been that it's feasible, but why would one want to? What would one do with an ugly orange hat?

Well I have found a veritable treasure trove of geeky knitting. According to Knitmeister S, "With a name like Red Shirt Knitting, you know you've found something wonderful." Other than the Jayne hat, I can't disagree.
