Reader, Jenn, sent me a link to this spectacular Doctor Who Pendant Bundle in Sweet Geek‘s etsy shop. We all know I love Doctor Who, so of course I am giddy over this. My favorite is the Ood. Or the Adipose…or the TARDIS…or…
You get the idea.
There is just so much awesome in this hoop! Craftster user onegroovyday made this for the Hoopla Round 4 swap, and I am seriously jealous of her partner! Even if she had stopped at the Van Gogh part it would have been gorgeous, but it just keeps getting better! The theme for Round 4 was a diptych–so it had to be two related hoops. And the second hoop is in the TARDIS!! There are more pictures in the post, and I highly recommend you go look, there’s SO much detail. Here is something else amazing: onegroovyday has never seen Doctor Who! “I have never watched Doctor Who…. I did a lot of image searching and some you tube viewing…”
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.
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.
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.
