Doctor Who Scarf: finished!

[vilakins]

I finally finished my Doctor Who scarf yesterday with three days to spare (the knit-a-long finshes with the year). It's a modified pattern in which I used Fibonacci numbers, rounding down if they were odd, so all the stripes are 8, 12, 20, or 34 rows. This also made it the length I wanted, just to my knees. I'm enough of a klutz not to want anything more I can trip over.



The best range I could find didn't have a yellow, so I used orange. There's also a grey row in there which shouldn't be in an S14 scarf, but I like it.


The scarf over a railing. Do I have enough tassels? I suppose I could add some between the existing ones.

If I look a bit hunchbacked in these photos, it's because Greg took the photos from up the steps. :-P


A mosaic of me in scarf, me with hat and sonic screwdriver, and covering three fandoms in knit with Jayne hat (made by reapermum) and Blake's 7 teleport bracelet (pattern by wolfma). Bwahahaha!

I was going to wear my brown corduroy jacket with the hat, but it's summer here and I got hot enough already in the scarf. It took me a while to cool down after that. :-P

There are lots of methods of casting on including that one (I use long-tail myself). Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant what she does once she's cast on her whole circle and is knitting what she's cast on. From that point you use the knit stitch style you're familiar with. If you want garter, you have to change to purl when you hit the marker, and back again when you encounter it again. :-P

Ah. I see, you're working rows in a twisted round and you follow your normal pattern using the marker to judge when you're on the 'back'. I think. :^) I'm watching the video, and my brain keeps slipping out of comprehension mode. Maybe if I watch it several times it will sink in.

You've got it!
