Who Wants to Knit-Along?

Doctor Who Scarf

Attention Who-vians (and friends and relatives of Who-vians)! As you probably know, a common geeky craft project is to knit the scarf that Tom Baker wore during his time as Dr. Who. We’ve featured several Dr. Who scarf projects here on GeekCrafts: the classic pattern, a beaded version, a minimalist painting, a Doctor Who Inspired Fibonacci Scarf, a pastel version, even a Jayne Cobb take on the Dr. Who colors.

I thought I’d let you know that the Facebook Group Geeks United in Crafts is doing a Dr. Who Scarf Knit-Along to kick off the new year. People are posting their yarn and needle choices, and sharing their progress on this iconic project. It’s been neat to see all the encouragement and support people are posting to the shared progress pics!

Have you attempted the Dr. Who scarf? Share links to your pattern of choice in the Comments!

    I am almost finished with my crocheted Doctor Who scarf (since I don’t knit). I’m going to add a few patches to it tonight. I used the original pattern from http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/pdf/original.pdf, but I haven’t measured it yet. I did decide to make it a little narrower than the pattern called for, since I thought it was too wide.

    Two years ago, shortly after finishing my first Doctor Who scarf, I vowed it would be my last. This is not a scarf so much as a marathon.

    I used the pattern and yarn suggestions from http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com and the finished product can be seen here http://dft.ba/-3wnq . Best of luck to everyone embarking on this journey, you’ll need all the perseverance you can get.

    Amy Lynn, thanks for sharing the link. I’m glad you didn’t let not-knitting keep you from embarking on the project. Crocheters unite! :)

    Nikki, thanks for the Rav link! Hope you get some new members! I know I’ve seen some new members in the FB group! :)

    Jen, I can totally understand about the Who scarf being a marathon – I think the finished project is something like 12 feet? Crazy! Definitely a project for the dedicated! :)
