My Doctor Who Scarf…
My scarf so far at about eight feet in length…
I don’t know about you guys but since I’ve become a Doctor Who fan I’ve always wanted the Tom Baker scarf. Mainly because it looks cool but also because it’s not very warm where I work. So it’s practical as well. Well I looked up some scarves online and a lot of them sell for around $120-$175. Now I won’t say I’m cheap, but I figured, heck I’ll learn how to knit and I’ll make one of my own! So thanks to my grandma, I learned the basics of knitting. And because a scarf is usually always the first knitting project to work on, it’s perfect! For additional help though I went to Doctor Who Scarf. There he has patterns and color schemes of the different scarves Baker wore in his run. A lot of useful information. I just reached the halfway point on my scarf. So far I average about four to four and a half hours a day working on it. And of course I’ve been watching a lot of old Who while doing it. I’ve gotten through all of Leela’s adventures with the Doctor and most of The Key of TIme serials. Just have the last one to go. It really has been a fun project and I know I’m hoping to expand my skills because there really are a lot of neat knitting crafts out there for Who fans. Well unless you want to make an Adipose doll…

Have fun finishing your scarf.
I made a scarf a couple years ago and I get random people commenting on it and how they like doctor who. It’s a great conversation starter and a good way to find other Doctor Who fans.

Actually the scarf is now done. It took me about a week working an average of four to five hours a night on it. I’m currently doing the season 18 scarf which is the twenty foot long, red, purple and orange scarf. That one is for a friend of mine. I may make some more though and see if I can sell them at some of the cons we go to.
