With Edmonton Expo and the Pure Spec knit-a-thon right around the corner, it’s time to take a few moments and thank our knitting army. They work their fingers to the bone to help raise funds for EQ, KNTR, and YESS.org!
When you buy a hat from us, please keep in mind that our knitters devote countless hours making these hats. OK, some of them counted and have determined they’ve spent over 750 hours knitting Jayne Hats over the past 12 months (Bev, Sheelagh)!
The team is made up of many people and varying skill levels. Some are locally made (Edm & area), some are made by friends and family of AB Browncoats located in other provinces (BC, NB) and we even have a volunteer knitter located in OH, USA!
Sometimes hats are big. Sometimes they’re tiny. Sometimes there’s a dropped stitch or slightly silly ribbing. As we all know, Ma Cobb had some challenges knitting the perfect hat as well… All are perfect as they raise funds for great charities.
So from all of us, to our knitting team, thanks so much for everything you do!
It’s a bit of a bad news, good news situation. This morning the Edmonton Expo team announced that Sean Mahar will be unable to attend the convention due to a filming commitment. While we’re sad we won’t be able to see Simon in Cap’t Mal’s home town, in Sean’s absence we will be blessed with the smiling presence of Kaylee herself, Jewel Staite.
We hope to see you at our Alberta Browncoats booth at the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo (October 20-21, 2012). Purchases at our booth raise funds for Equality Now, Kids Need to Read, and Edmonton’s Youth Empowerment and Support Services.
Can’t make the Edmonton Expo? We’ll be at the Pure Speculation Festival (November 17-18).
Think you can design a shiny piece of artwork that will win the hearts and minds of Browncoats everywhere? Submit your designs (max of 3 per person) to the CSTS Global logo contest. Complete details are available on the Can’t Stop The Serenity website. Contest closes Oct 14, 2012 so get your entries in soon. Good luck everyone.
Today is the 10th anniversary of the debut of Firefly; our first exposure to a shiny new ‘verse. Despite episodes being shown out of order with air dates and times as changeable as the wind, the show was beloved by many. Firefly’s active fan-base, affectionately known as Browncoats, successfully campaigned for a big damn movie (post cancellation – whaaa!) and have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity over the years.
How will you celebrate the anniversary?
