I have been trying to come up with an interesting hat for my grandson. I started making the Vortex. Then I tried the Bloody Stupid Johnson. Neither was right and I unknit both. I looked at several others and rejected them all. I pretty much gave up. On Wednesday I took Gus to the vet. Since I didn’t want to listen to him crying his eyeballs out the whole time, I put on a podcast. And there was Susan Dolf talking about the Jayne hat. Thank you, Susan. When I got home, I looked up pictures and patterns, made some copies, and dug through my stash. The next day, this is what I came up with. If he likes it, I’ll get more appropriate yarn and make it again. I hate to think what this hat would look like if it ever was washed.

I love both Pratchett (the Bloody Stupid Johnson character is from Pratchett) AND Jayne. I have long begged my mother to make me a Jayne hat! Maybe I’ll show her your blog and she can be inspired.

I tried to reply on my old computer, but that didn’t seem to work. I think my son has every book Pratchett has written. I can count on something to read when I go there.
