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

Tassels are easy if you have a big enough crochet hook. Mine wasn't, so I pulled the yarn though (loop first) in 2s and 3s, gathered it together, evened it up, then put the ends through the loops.

Starbucks in your scarf is a fabulous idea! If I was there, I'd come too, in my hat and fingerless gloves (coz it would be cold) with my sonic screwdriver poking out of a pocket. ;-)

I do hope the bracelet is there.

Next? I have to finish the other scarf which I did on smaller needles and will therefore be shorter, then I think I'll use up all the extra wool in crocheting cat cuddlers and knitting a few neck and wrist warmers. Not fannish, but hey.
