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!

This scrapbook is bigger on the inside…

Dr. Who digital scrapbook kit by RetroDiva

Tracy Scherrer, aka RetroDiva, created this digital homage to Dr. Who. It includes digital scrapbook papers and elements to create all sorts of groovy Who-friendly paper crafts – don’t let the “scrapbooking” angle scare you away.

Perhaps this is just the kick in the pants you needed to host a Who-a-thon, so you can use this kit to create the invites? Or maybe you could use it to decoupage-decorate some canvas sneakers? Or maybe you know a big Who fan who needs a birthday card? What would you make with this kit?

Geeky shoe-shindig

Clone Wars shoes

Now this is my kind of party! After seeing a plethora of cool decoupaged shoes online, Amy Ratcliffe decided to host a “Nerd Shoe Craftacular” so she and her friends could try their hand at some of the projects. And pardon me for saying so, but I’d say the results are a SHOE-IN for geektastic delight.

A variety of geekdoms were represented, including Star Wars, Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, and comic book heroes, but I think my favorite project is this pair of Clone Wars pumps. Sublime.

Tutorial Tuesday: TARDIS Bookcase!

Check out this awesome bookcase tutorial from Alantronics!

It’s actually mind blowingly simple to do, make one for you little boy/girl’s room to promote literacy (or for me, make a full sized one for the Husb0t to store all his Dr Who DVD’s in… )

You could even be really clever and add a door for the full ‘TARDIS effect…

Dr. Who TARDIS in a Wormhole Afghan Tutorial

So, if you are a die-hard crocheter, you start thinking about Christmas presents in the summer.  You just have to.  I have a Dr. Who loving pal in my life, and I came across this great afghan by  Craftster user Brackish Potato.  It is inspired by the opening scene from Dr. Who where the TARDIS is floating through the time warp/wormhole thingie.

 

What a great idea right?  The afghan looks like it would work up pretty quickly since it’s just a repeating pattern.
