Here's a little something I planned to do for the Good vs. Evil knitalong, only the yarn I'd ordered didn't arrive in time. So I repurposed the project for the Ravelympics Hat Dash.

Hello!

I'm attending Pi-Con, which takes place the weekend of August 22nd through 24th in West Springfield, Massachusetts, USA.

If other Who Knitters will be there, I'd love to meet up.

Is anyone else attending 3Pi-Con?

Hey! I'm new to this community, but ever since I found it, I've been digging through the older posts here, and there are some fantastic things, which inspired me to make my own TARDIS. The pattern I got is from [http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/who/knittardis.html], but instead of simply four walls and a top and bottom, I knit it entirely in the round and picked up stitches to get the bottom and top.

( It's really quite enormous. LOTS of pictures. )

I also made a little TARDIS cellphone/iPod holder, because I bought too much yarn to work with.

( much smaller than above :) Still many pictures. )

But I wanted to let you all know that I'm co-modding a community with lilyofshalottcalled tardis_day, which is the home base of the TARDIS Day holiday. There's a lot more I could tell you, but what reason would you have to check it out yourself? =D Here's a good place to start! ^_^

Please delete if this isn't supposed to be here =D

Hello all!

I'm new here, been lurking for a little while...I was SO pleased to find places that combine Doctor Who and crafty-goodness.

Anyway, I have a question for you all: How long is a Doctor Who scarf supposed to be?? It doesn't really matter about scarves from different seasons, I'm just curious as to how long in general they are.

Reason being, I knitted one up using a loom (regular knitting drives me bonkers) and it came out to a bit over 20 feet! I'd like to know if I screwed something up somewhere along the way, or if I'm pretty accurate. Either way I'll most likely keep it.

Thanks! :)

Has anyone knit a 7th Doctor Vest? I feel I have seen it .....maybe even here!!!

I finished his last pair of Chucks a few weeks ago, but I haven't gotten around to posting pictures till now. Basically... it's Little Ten. Creative name, no?

The teaser picture links to the other pictures, including a nekkid one (oh yes.) at my journal. Um, it's totally worksafe; he has built in underpants.

Okay, so like, over a month ago I said prizes would be forthcoming. Then I promptly put off making any. Now I bring you the first in two batches of nifty LJ swag for the Good vs. Evil participants!


More icons coming soon! (If you have any special requests, let me know!)

Okay so I posted about how my very first attempt at knitting is a Season 12 Scarf over at crafty_tardis but this is a totally different post I promise.

Not just a cross post.

So I'm having a Time And Relative Dimensions In Scarfs issue here.

I cast on 65 stitches.

I garter stitched 6 rows.

I counted my stitches when I finished the 6th row because I'd been lazy about counting them at the end of each row and thought I may have dropped a stitch somewhere along the way. I don't think I did drop a stitch... In fact. My needle now has 76 stitches on it!

A buh?

I have no idea how that happened... I'm not looking to go back fix it, because I'm amused and I don't mind if my scarf has "character"... Though I may try decreasing the stitches back down to 65 if I can find a good video on how to do that on YouTube.

You guys are experienced knitters... Can you tell me what I did?

In this post someone advertises that their SO will knit DW scarfs for $120. Is this sort of thing kosher? I have no clue, don't need a Fourth Doctor scarf or anything like that, but if this is brought to the notice of the BBC, won't TPTB get upset?

In lieu of recent events, I don't know what if, anything, the mods of that comm will say or do, even if emailed about it.

(The one DW scarf I have, I found the pattern in a paper 'zine, I bought the yarn, and my friend knitted for me, and no money changed hands. I did some things in return for her.)

At any rate, after the debacle over the patterns recently, am I right to be concerned for the fandom?

My BFF Kay came out for a week and I threw her a surprise Birthday party! The biggest part of the surprise being that her birthday isn't until July and the party was in June =D Anyway, I only had one idea for what to make her for a gift at first, but it soon turned into three ideas:





Beware, there are a lot of pics under the cuts. All patterns belong to snuffykin, and you can find them at her LJ =D 

Also, I know this is who_knits, but could we have a Torchwood tag? Just wondering =D

Lalla Ward (Romana!) wrote 2 knitting books in the 80s-- Beastly Knits and Fowl Knits! I ordered Beastly Knits off Amazon (it was only $4). There is no photo of the cover. I bought it purely because it was written by Romana.

Does anyone already own these books? What are they like?

edit: I did a Google image search. WOW. I'm just... WOW. Well, I guess it was popular then! I wonder what she would do today?

So after all the knitting debacle, life got interesting. I can't go into the ins and outs of it all, but there is some info in the Who Knits group on Ravelry about a project which is happening :-)

Anyway, something I can talk about is that I am going for an interview tomorrow with the Guardian, which will appear in G2. This is to promote a supplement on knitting which they are producing on the 12th July - I have written a heap of exclusive (but not DW) patterns for them.

The point of this post is that I have made something to wear. But as it's not knitting, I am going to direct you to the post at Crafty TARDIS :-)

That's right.  I already used the iTARDIS pattern for my camera, so when I got my shfancy new iPod I decided I had to come up with another way to protect my iPod and still prove to the world that I was a Doctor Who dork.

( And here is the result! )

Oh, and I'm not actually sure how to tag this one...

Cross-posted to crafty_tardis because I lurve attention.  XD

Hello, everyone!  I just wanted to say hi - I've neglected my LJ for a few years now, but I discovered the greatness of Doctor Who just under a year ago.  I've already made one Dalek, and plan to make (many)more.  I've also done a crocheted Five, and am going to work on a Four soon.  I've been knitting for just over two years now and it has totally taken over my life!

Oo, just noticed that the info here mentions knitting-related whofic as well, and it happens that here's one I prepared earlier that I hadn't thought to link to here back then... :)

Pink Porcupine made a cutie-patootie crocheted Fifth Doctor doll. :D

Posted at PP's blog here!
You can see the back and some other photos at the Flickr page here.

Snuggable.

ETA 6/20/08: Fifth Doctor, in all his cuteness, appears in Craft Magazine blog. :)

Weird things hit me at even weirder times.

In some circles of Torchwood fandom, it is fanon that Ianto had a stuffed Alf toy when he was a child. Having just read the third story with that in it, I am seized by a sudden need to crochet (or knit since my finger has been healing nicely and I can now hold knitting needles without wanting to use them to poke out my eyes to stop the pain...) an Alf. Has anyone ever seen (or is anyone in possession of) a pattern?

I am very sad that the Adipose and Ood dr who patterns had to be removed from the net by order of the BBC.

I'm even sadder that I had bookmarked them and only just found out about it now, when I went to print them to knit.  Does anyone have them still? I promise I am not going to sell them or give away the pattern, but I am far away here in New Zealand and don't know anyone who would have kept them.

Thanks!

Hello all!  I just found the community a few days ago after someone posted a picture of a knit Dalek in ihasatardis  . You have all inspired me to immerse myself even deeper into geekdom, and this is the result of how impressed I was with the iTARDIS and, though I myself have no iPod, how determined I was to steal the idea... 


I fixed the pattern for the windows cos it was innacurate and driving me mad and did the black stripe as a sort of... loop... to tuck the flap into on one side.  It's a bit gimpish because I was making it completely based on the pictures of the iTARDIS (seeing how my camera is a bit larger than a nano...)  And on the flappy side the flap covers one of the panels and makes it look like a midget!TARDIS, but maybe I'm just being overly-critical? 

Now I want to undertake some sort of epic character dolls project.  But I can't decide if I should make glove puppets or just twee little dollies... 
( Not knitting, but I also did these. )

As I was laying in bed this morning, I couldn't stop thinking "what on earth makes people want to knit a dalek, or any other character?"  So I ask you, my dear knitters, Why?  Do you knit wookies and Snapes for your other geekdoms fandoms?  Did you start off with a scarf and then decide to make everything else with your leftover yarn?  Do you have a crocheted Picard duking it out with Angel and immortalized in a doily?  So please, enlighten me!
