What’s better than a sonic screwdriver? A hand knit sonic screwdriver!
Designed by Kristen Danley of Ravelry this sonic screwdriver pattern is based off of the Eleventh Doctor’s screwdriver.
The pattern is easy to follow and is a great way to use up some leftover yarn.

Just when you think the Doctor Who crafts can’t get any more awesome… they do! PurpleHeather made this epic hoop for her Doctor Whoopla Swap partner, and I’m SO jealous! They way she mixed the thread colors mimic Van Gogh exactly. I don’t think I need to say much: just look at how gorgeous it is! PurpleHeather said: “The background is dark blue velvet, because as Vincent says, the sky isn’t dark and black and without character, it’s deep blue!” The most impressive part? She did it all freehand! What a work of art!
Greetings Geek Crafters:
We’ve got two things going on here at Geek Crafts headquarters:
1. The first winner we picked to get a copy of Susan Beal’s World of Geekcraft never contacted us with their address, so we had to pick another winner. That winner is…
Craftasaurusrex!
Craftasaurusrex, please email your name and mailing address to geekcrafts@gmail.com by midnight ET on Thursday, May 19th and we’ll put your copy of World of Geekcraft in the mail right away.
2. What do you do when your graphic / web designer and her kids catch the bubonic plague? Why, you postpone your super awesome contest one more week. Enjoy our regularly scheduled programming and on Monday the 23rd, we’ll unveil our new logo and the super awesome contest. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!
Have fun talking around the water cooler about the awesome Neil Gaiman-directed Doctor Who episode in the morning!

Craftster always has the coolest swaps going, and the stuff that comes out of them is amazing. ivoryh1632 made these Bingo Cards for her partner during the Doctor Who round 6 swap, and they’re so cool! There are 12 different cards to choose from, and they have squares like “The Doctor mentions he’s a genius” and “Someone gets slapped”. ivoryh1632 says “I did it up all proper and used a bingo card making website so every card has a random assortment chosen from 80 different phrases, so choose your card wisely.” You could always use jelly babies as space markers. Or if you print them out big enough, jammy-dodgers.
Even greater than the excitement over the imminent start of Series Six of Doctor Who this Saturday, is the collective sadness spreading across the Whoverse: Elisabeth Sladen, who brilliantly portrayed the much loved Doctor’s companion Sarah Jane Smith, passed away on the 19th of April, far too young at only 63 years.
The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world, or a relationship…everything has its time. And everything ends.
— Sarah Jane Smith, “School Reunion”, Doctor Who
