R2-D2 Beanie Gives Us a Warm Fuzzy Feeling
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 1:10 PM on February 21, 2008
I don't know about you, but it's so cold out there that I'm going everywhere with my Zissou beanie on. I wouldn't change it for anything, except an Indiana Jones fedora hat or any of these hand-knitted R2-D2 beanies. Perfect for snowboarding padawans (like Brian Lam) or X-Wing sled rides.

c'mon JD, I need a finished project, not a DIY guide (I barely know what yarn is to begin with)
show me a checkout/paypal page and I will be on my merry way.
PS- Don't make fun of asians boarding...I was at Mt. Snow a couple weeks ago and it was like an asian invasion up there

For those that would get it, from Excessively Diverted, "for my R2D2 toque (aka the R2D-toque)"

@chillywilly: Oh c'mon, it was like, 40 degrees here in SLC the other day...that's fucking balmy considering how this winter has gone. If it drops back into the 20's with several feet of snow I'm hunkering down in a Tonton though.
Oh and that's a pretty dope beanie I guess, if you're into that sort of thing.

@Polybius: lol right on, but im pretty sure 90% of americans dont know what a toque is, even though its a much better name than a beannie

@chillywilly: our friend Supplemonkey taught us yesterday that it's "tauntaun." (Although the use of "Tonton" could refer to Porkins hah hah.)

@vorlik: After 20+ years, coming from Southern California, I've never gotten used to the cold, even at 40 degrees.
The Tonton is always an option.

My sister-in-law made me 2 of these for Christmas last year. One in standard colors and another in a white, black, and red motif. Very cool. Or warm. My children enjoy taking them and wearing them as well.

@daversW: Some American I met called a toque a "toboggan". Now, maybe this guy was a little slow, but a toboggan is something you sit on as you slide down a snowy hill.
Either way, "beanie" is just a terrible, terrible name.
