A post all about the Scarf
- Second Fourth Doctor scarf commission is done! No more scarves for this year after this, Doctor Who or otherwise.
Once again, did a test wear to see how it hangs. Did the full season 12 length this time, so it's about 13 feet long. So, not as ridiculous as 20 feet, but still pretty big. The amazing thing about these scarves is how light they are after you stretch them. You'd think it would be this great big weight about your neck, but they're not.
- I had some leftover yarn from knitting both scarves, so I decided to use some of it up to make this:
I wouldn't say I designed it, since I was just following the pattern from doctorwhoscarf.com, but I did adapt the pattern to make a 1/4 sized bookmark. I used US 1 needles, so the stitches are pretty tight, but it makes for a sturdy bookmark.
- I got "The Invasion of Time" DVD from my library over the weekend and I was sort of off-put by the season 15 scarf. It's noticeably different from the original, so my brain kept going "Wrong! Wrong!" through all six episodes. I wonder why they knit a new scarf for season 15. I guess the original was probably looking a little tatty so maybe they wanted to give it a break?
