This very strange idea took hold of me and wouldn't let go until I made it for the who_knitsgood vs evil knitalong. Thought I'd share it with you lovely people, since you might appreciate it a wee bit more than my family does. Because you might think I wouldn't wear this in public. But you would be so, so wrong. 

Pictures and directions below the cut for the infamous Dalek hat. 

Davros is less happy than the Doctor about it, though. XD

( This will be step by step, once I get some more pictures. n___n )

Lots of pictures, be warned. Too many? I can always put less step-by-step-ness on here, if it's too much to read. And all that.

I'll also add in a picture of the pieces, incase anyone else wants to draw their own out. You just have to make sure that the neck piece fits in with the tea ball strainer, and that the skirt fits in with the neck piece. n___n

Taking a break from all my crazy work to get this to you lovelies!!!


Lots of how to pictures below!

I will put the charts back with the pattern when I get a chance, but for now here they are.

Edit: the charts are showing up fine on the pattern now; I think imageshack was just being weird ...

So, in my last post, I had pictures of the fake!Seven vest I created for the purpose of, well, dressing up like him for Halloween.

A good number of people have asked if I was going to make a pattern. I haven't really had the time yet, being in the throes of my final year of undergrad, but I did get to the point of ordering sport weight yarn for a vest that will be more accurate. The fake!vest was knit in worsted.

But since I don't have a real pattern put together yet, and since I do have some rather drab, respectable colors I bought in order to knit a respectable version of the vest (more worsted weight), I am going to knit another sample vest.

I have made up a few patterns for the colorwork; that's most of what this posting is about, and you can slap them on any old vest pattern. (I used the Leftovers pattern from knitty.com for the original vest, and I'm using it for the "respectable" colored vest as well. I'll figure something else out for the real vest.)

( And here are some colorwork patterns! )

This is my first post here :D But I wanted to show you all the Valentine's card I made for my best friend.

EDIT: And she did love it! She even called me to tell me so (and woke me up from my nap). And thankyou fr all your kind comments, and I fully endore stealing the idea :D

Here are some jelly babies I knitted up from this free pattern at Craftbits.com (ETA 2/19/08: This pattern is no longer available. A different pattern Jelly Baby Skittles is available). They are really fast to make and use up small bits of yarn. Each jelly baby is about 6.5 inches tall and jelly mum is 10.5 inches tall. I also made a mini jelly baby about 1.5 inches tall, not in the photos. I stitched faces on them, but they look better without faces. I think jelly babies may only be found at British foods specialty shops in the U.S., since I haven't seen any in regular grocery stores.

Happy Birthday, crafty_tardis !

Have a little cake with edible ball bearings! (Heh, it's crocheted in yarn.) More about this cake...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAFTY TARDIS!!!

I was lucky enough to get a new phone for Christmas (much needed since my old phone only seemed to work every other day) and thought that it was a great excuse to make yet another TARDIS (like I need an excuse!) So here's what I came up with:



More photos and how-tos after the jump!

Since a lot of people have asked, and it's the right time of year, I've decided to make a post here about the gingerbread TARDIS that my friend pnr and I made last Christmas! This community didn't exist at the time, so I posted it over in 500year_diary, but here is a long, detailed how-to post with all you need to know!

So yes, last year, on Christmas Eve, and again on Christmas Day, pnr came over for a few hours, and we built this gingerbread TARDIS together.

This may be a spoiler for someone who hasn't seen season 3, so I'm hiding it under the cut.

I charted up a filet crochet pattern based on the Seal of Rassilon symbol.

Rassilon contributed a lot to Time Lord culture in Classic Who, so who's to say he didn't enjoy a bit of crafty-ness, too?

Just finished a new doll of the Tenth Doctor. I've posted more pictures and pattern at my blog here.

Added note: Thanks everybody for your lovely comments! chibi!Nine is very jealous.

It's Rose Tyler as a crocheted doll in her outfit from new Doctor Who, episodes Boomtown and Bad Wolf.

I've just completed my crocheted doll of the Ninth Doctor and posted the pattern. I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and trying the pattern out yourselves.

Pattern at my journal

I finished it! I knitted my second Dalek with a very different yarn from the first, so I can vouch for it working well in different kinds of yarn. I also worked through a few tweaks to make the pattern more accurate.



This is my first-ever pattern, so if you catch any errors or if anything is unclear, please let me know. Thanks!
