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

Go you, and your knitwear crossover madness!

Thanks! [wonders what other wearable fannish stuff she can knit]

A Tomorrow People jaunting belt.
A question-mark vest (didn't the Seventh Doctor wear one?)
A Time-Lord skullcap.
A Star Trek uniform...

I don't know the first fandom.
I've seen a pattern for the second. Hee! Not bad either, but I think the question marks are a little large.
I'm not sure what the third looks like, having limited old DW knowledge.
I would never, never wear anything so skintight! I went to an exhibition where I was offered the chance to wear a uniform and pose on the bridge, but no.

I should look through who_knits. I've seen TARDIS and green celery hats already (didn't appeal) but there may be something I'd like.

I do have some nice non-fannish projects planned. I should finish the first DW scarf I started though, the one with the bright, not-very-canon colours.

I don't know the first fandom.
This page is a good introduction, I think. I really loved the series as a kid, so perhaps my love is mostly nostalgia. But, hey, psi powers!

It does look interesting, and the sort of thing I'd have really loved and related to as a kid. It'll probably make be nostalgic for that time of hope and optimism if I get it. :-P

(plots to find some way of getting vilakins copies of TP episodes) ;-)

Don't worry. I have so much queued up to watch already. :-P

The Tam O' Shanter of Rassilon (the pattern should be linked from crafty_tardis, and it's a goodie)

Sounds great, and somewhat challenging too! Found it! (http://members.peak.org/~jhyde/hydecodolls/rassilon.htm) Thank you! That's an excellent pattern, saved to my queue in Ravelry! It's attractive in itself and would pass people who didn't know entirely by. :-D
