May the Force be with you

A few months ago, a pattern for a knitted Princess Leia wig hat hit the bigtime in blogland. Everyone was talking about it, but I didn't think everyone was knitting it. Sure, it's a cool pattern. But really, what are you going to do with something like this once Halloween is over and the sf convention season has ended?

Apparently, several people decided to take on the challenge anyway. There's a Flickr photoset devoted to these knitted concoctions. All the people who are wearing them look like they're having a blast. Hmmm...I wonder if I have any dark brown chunky yarn in my stash...
