Doctor Who Inspired Fibonacci Scarf

I realize we have had quite a bit of Doctor Who crafts lately, but what do you expect–geek website+new season looming=lots of that; plus, this is a math scarf, too. Noodle created this awesome two color Doctor Who Inspired Fibonacci Scarf for her boyfriend, who wanted a Tom Baker-esque scarf, but wasn’t much into multiple colors. She had the genius idea of incorporating the Fibonacci sequence, and as  you can see, it was a total success.

Dr Who Cross Stitch

I like the bit when someone says it’s bigger on the inside! I always look forward to that.

This is the creation of Crafty TARDIS/livejournal member Xcarex. I love it.

If you’re not plugged into Crafty TARDIS you should be! I love the charming honesty of this cross stitch, the way the TARDIS seems to be shining with all those dotted lines, and the care and attention taken over the different shades of blue.

Weeping Angel Statue (with Tutorial!)

I’m a massive Dr Who fan. I love the old stuff, but I’ve got to say, hands down, the weeping angels are the best villains from the newer series’.

Craftster user Fayeven has really blown my mind this week by taking an old unwanted Barbie doll and converting it into a super creepy weeping angel statuette.

I don’t know about you, I’d LOVE to have one of these in my house, but I’d also be kinda afraid too, luckily Fayeven has reassured us:

“… do not worry for me who fans, I am placing a mirror directly opposite her so she will be trapped.”

Good thinking Fayeven!

Anyone like me considering re-purposing their old Barbies is in luck, as Fayeven has shared a tutorial on how you can make your own Creepy Weeping Angel Doll over on her blog and on Craftster.

Doctor Who Scarf

Yes, that’s me, wearing my awesome Doctor Who scarf!

I’ve wanted to make a Doctor Who scarf since I first saw the series, about 3 years ago, however all the patterns I’d seen used yarn that cost more than I was willing to spend.  That all changed a few months ago when I happened across Witty Little Knitter, a site “dedicated to the knitting of the authentic Doctor Who scarf.”  Run by Tara Wheeler, she provides several patterns for knitting the scarf, including one made from an affordable acrylic yarn.

I was delighted to find this pattern, and even more delighted when a friend purchased the yarn for me as a gift.  A few months later, and I’m the proud wearer of a ridiculously long, cozy warm, and delightfully geeky scarf.

Exploding TARDIS Shoes

Man I wish I could draw. Then I could try to make these for myself! cakewalkqueen made a pair of Exploding TARDIS sneakers using sharpies! She based them on a pair she saw on Etsy that feature Van Gogh’s drawing of the TARDIS exploding from the Doctor Who episode “The Pandorica Opens”. One shoe says “The pandorica will open” on the outside and the other says “Silence will fall”.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Four Elements Blanket

Kimby posted this gorgeous Last Airbender blanket on her DeviantArt page. It always amazes me the designs people can make with crochet. The four symbols are perfect! And it’s huge…I want one! She has the pattern and tutorial on her blog, with tips. The most important one: “And this one last, very crucial tip: Make sure to watch your Avatar DVDs while working on this blanket. On repeat. For several hours at a time…”
