this is what the geeksplosion was about.
but being a WWdN reader for many years (50,000 monkeys on 50,000 typewriters can't be wrong), I thought it would be entertaining to get a slightly more skeptical looking picture than the utter fangirldom one above.
Background:
Tuesday night was the Child’s Play charity dinner and silent auction, and at the last minute a free spare ticket fell in my lap. Anyway, Wil was super nice, a very normal geek guy (wish there were more of those at Black Hat and fewer Wannabe Rockstar Hackers). He twittered Tuesday that he was ‘in Seattle wearing his binary scarf so he was nerdy AND warm’. So when I ended up walking just a couple feet from him into the dinner (it wasn't creepy stalker-ish, I swear, and I didn't interrupt some other fan, my mamma raised me to be polite!) I asked him to post a picture of that scarf, that I was interested for my next geek knitting project. He said his friend made it for him, that it says ‘awesome’ in binary, I told him about the Fibonacci scarf I had knit and the prime number scarf I’m working on… I don’t remember exactly what happened next but within minutes he had bought the scarf. Now if I’d just met the guy, that would be cool enough. But he bought something I made! That is just… too… awesome. Can I claim to knit for celebrities now? LOL.
both of the new items I recently listed on etsy have sold... The pedicure socks will be a Christmas gift in Ohio, but worry not if you missed out on picking those up for yourself, a new pair in a spicy color combination should be listed in a few days (I'm almost done!). The Fibonacci scarf sold tonight to

and the fibonacci scarf pattern for you DIY folks!
Recently, the actress who played Saffron on Firefly auctioned a handknit scarf on ebay for charity. The winning bid was $255.00.
Some folks at work thought there was enough of a resemblance to suggest we could be sisters... not sure I agree with them, but still, it got me thinking. I'm not an actress but I do knit and there are lots of deserving charities out there. So here's the deal: donate $250 to either Children's Hospital or Climb for Kids and I'll knit you one of Jayne's Cunning Hats, or a Fibonacci Scarf in the two colors of your choice.
