Crafster Jennieingram created this lovely bracelet after watching Doctor Who for the first time. Each charm is a reference to Doctor Who, the beads are Tardis blue and the black of space, there are two hearts, an extra hand, a Union Jack for Rose’s shirt, a wolf for Bad Wolf and many more. Jennieingram goes into details of everything she put into the bracelet on Crafster.
This Doctor Who inspired cowl was designed by Ravelry user Rachel Henry. It’s made with a Knit Picks self striping yarn, in the Time Traveler colorway, which is unfortunately no longer available on the Knit Picks site. The colors are a pastel version of the iconic Doctor Who scarf worn by the fourth Doctor.
The cowl pictured here is one I knit for myself. I ordered the yarn right after seeing the pattern, and knit it for myself as a treat when I finished all my Christmas knitting.
I made this adorable Kirby plushie for a friend a few months ago. After spending several days scouring the internet for a good knitting pattern for a ball, I came across this Kirby pattern on Ravelry. I altered it slightly, using my own design for the feet, and making the eyes and mouth with felt, that I then glued on with a hot glue gun rather than knitting them as seen in the pattern.
It only took about three days to make, and I had a lot of fun knitting Kirby.
A plethora of crafts and products have been inspired by the upcoming royal wedding of Will and Kate, but none so epic as Knit Your Own Royal Wedding, a book containing knitting patterns for not just Prince William and Kate Middleton, but members of the royal family as well. The book even comes with a fold out of Westminster Abbey for you to stage your own wooly royal wedding.
This book is so amusingly epic I might just have to pick up a copy.
