Scarf and snow dorkness
So there are two things under the cut....the season 12 scarf that I finished knitting oh, a month or so ago and my attempt at building a Dalek out of the snow that finally fell. It wasn't pretty, but I thought I'd share  :)

So first of all, here is my lovely scarf. I was so proud of myself, I got it done in just under two weeks. My fingers were SSOORREE after all that knitting but I was so proud!

Of course I wore it EVERYWHERE I went after I was done, despite it being 70 outside. Stupid texas. I showed it to my boyfriend, of course, and he thought it was too impractical. Unless, of course, it was wrapped around your head a billion times, in which case it was quite usefull because it was really very warm.

Isn't he cute? But THANKFULLY it got freakishly cold today and I actually had an excuse to wear it outside :) It's quite a good snow catcher. Which brings me to my other thing. So I was looking through the posts today and I saw how someone had made a snow Dalek and so when the snow started to fall I wanted to make one too. But since we haven't had snow like this in my part of Texas for over ten years my skills are a bit...oh...rusty. Anyway, without further ado..my dalek!


And because I couldn't resist.....


I would have put Exterminate...but I didn't have enough room. Well, that's about it for now. Hope you enjoyed :)

Hehehe how awesome. And snow in Texas? That line from Bill Engvall comes to mind: "And don't let it snow in Texas...shut the state down". ^^;

Hehe yeah, Texas doesn't do too well with snow. Even the hint of snow can shut down roads and get school canceled :)

Oh, and I freaking LOVE your icon :) <3 Ianto

Excellent scarf - and in just two weeks? I'm so impressed! Lumpy the snow Dalek is cute, too. :)

I didn't know it ever snowed in Texas! I'm happy that a fan was there to take advantage of it. *grin*

I am astounded that you were able to finish your scarf in two weeks. Lightning fingers, you! Good job, and it looks great!

:) Well it helped that I had HOURS of old Doctor Who episodes to catch up on and a few sick days to take advantage of. Thanks!

All the snow melted at my house before I got a chance to make a snow-anything.

Your Snow!Dalek totally rocks!(and the scarf isn't too bad either) ;)

Yeah, the snow melted quick. About an hour and a half after taking the pictures it was pretty much gone. And thanks!

Snow in Texas? And they say we're going through Global Warming. :) Love the scarf, and the snow dalek.
