Doctor Who Scarf: finished!

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 [livejournal.com profile] reapermum) and Blake's 7 teleport bracelet (pattern by [livejournal.com profile] 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

Lovely scarf! Having it this "short" also helps with not getting this beautiful thing dirty too quickly, I think. And I like your hair!

Yes, the original got shortened, presumably because it got dirty and damaged with Tom Baker tripped over it or stood on it. Then they knitted him two more even longer ones that he had to loop down to his waist!

Thank you! :-D My hair looks a bit ragged-edged there, caught on the scarf; it's usually a bit neater. :-)
