Non-canon Doctor Who scarf

[vilakins]

I still feel horrible and limp and bronchitis-y, but better than I have been for the last few days. I might be getting better. :-)

I finally finished the first Doctor Who scarf I started, in very non-canon colours because they were all I could find in the same brand in the little shop I went to. Like the other one, I did it in Fibonacci numbers, rounded to even when necessary, so all the stripes were 8, 12, 20, or 34 rows. The colours may be wrong (the green is very bright, and the brown far too dark, but I like them, especially now I've added the tassels. They're much more my colours than the autumn ones of the canon scarf.

There's not one of me wearing it this time because I'd probably look pretty much the way I feel. :-P



I'm considering making some matching stripy wrist-warmers from the leftover wool of each, but my next project is a Moebius neck-warmer.

I like it! It may not be canon-colored, but it's pleasantly colored, and clearly Who-inspired. :)

And I do hope you are getting better.

I like bright, strong colours!

I'm a lot better than yesterday though I'm still not sleeping well. I finished my antibiotics and also decided to stop the over-the-counter drugs (pseudo-ephedrine?) I was taking for the cough etc because I think the symptoms are going away.

I'm pleased I have some mix-with-water-and-drink meals around because I really don't want to eat much. This is a good thing; I could lose some weight.

Hope you feel better soon. Nicely bright coloured scarf. The idea is definitely there.

It might not look like a Real One, but I like it!

I think it's lovely! Nicely done.

I'm sorry to hear you've been ill. Bronchitis is wretched. *hugs* I hope you feel better soon. :)

Thanks!

I think I caught a virus at that wedding, and of course, since I have a weak chest like Vila, it went straight to it.

Awwww, it's great! It's much more . . . cheerful than Four's, and not nearly so 1970s. I'm most impressed! I hope we get one of you wearing it (when it cools down over there, that is).

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I like the colours much better! I'll probably just wear the other one (with the hat) if I do something fannish or go to a costume thing.

Very nice!

Thanks! I'm going to have a go at starting the Moebius today or tomorrow. I'm not sure I want to make it the circumference her pattern is though; I'd like something a bit snugger. How big did yours turn out?

I hope you feel much better soon.

Great scarf. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :-)

Ha, that icon's from that awful DW film with the wrong Ian, Barbara,and Susan, right?

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Absolutely wonderful combination, canon or not, it is LOVELY!
I do hope you will get rid of your illness soon!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really should have gone completely non-canon and used my favourites like turquoise and all those jewel colours, but I like it anyway.

Thanks. I'm still hacking away here, but I feel better than I did yesterday.

love it!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

:-D Thanks!

That's a joyful scarf. :-) Get well soon!

Somewhere on the Internet there is a pattern for a knitted Klein bottle hat... have you seen it? I'd look it up for you now, but I'm in the usual rush before work.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I have seen it, but I think that would be beyond me.

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that the Doctor would approve, especially of your use of Fibonacci numbers.

I hope that by now you are even further on the road to recovery.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I thought. I now have bronchitis, which is what I always fear when I get a cold--and despite getting antibiotics right at the start. :-(

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Canon or no, it looks very much the sort of thing T Baker would have worn!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! It can go with some of my stranger hats. :-D

Nice scarf.

Get togethers are definitely places for swapping different strains of germs.

You do know about putting your circular needles in hot water to soften the nylon a little so that you can straighten it?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's not the problem; when you knit the Moebius, the needle is coiled around twice, and there's just not enough give to work with. I've ordered longer cables and detachable tips, so I should be set. The video recommends 7" so I ordered 120cm. :-)

I'm sorry to hear you've been ill - if you've posted before about it I've missed it as I have been just snatching a quick lurk here and there. Bronchitis is the worst, poor you - but I did smile at the 'Vila's got a weak chest too' comment a few above.

What you need is A DOCTOR! Have you watched Robots of Death yet? Four is good for what ails you.

The scarf looks great as well - I know you were concerned about the colours but now it is all finished and tasseled it works - very Who-inspired, without making you look like a rabid fan who will kill anyone who mentions RTD!

Have you posted it on who_knits?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched it yet. I should transfer it to the right HD so I can see it on the big screen in the other room. I feel so crap, everything's a bit hard to do right now.

Also, depressed at being totally broke and unemployable.

I haven't posted it there. I didn't think it was canon enough and I already posted the other one.
