Frustration with my Davison Sweater
After getting sidetracked by commissions for three Baker scarves which made me sick of them, I started back up on my Davison sweater this past week. Noticing a bunch of problems with my pattern, I set aside the start of my first and began a new one. But then when I checked the reference pics on my computer again, I noticed this close-up from the Doctor Who Experience courtesy of dondragmer and I made some notes from what I saw. (Click for the full-size image to see the notes)
So, the bad news is that I've started on two sweaters only to realise that I had gotten my pattern fundamentally wrong. The good news, is that now I have the right basic pattern for the main body of the sweater, and am therefore one step closer to screen accurate, although I'm not starting over again until I'm sure of more details.
For now, I'm going to continue knitting the main body and write an updated pattern before doing anything with the sleeves. Here's the two pieces of information I need for my pattern:
1) Is the jumper knitted on straight or circular needles? The best shot I can get of the sides, where a seam would normally be, is in Terminus Part 4, between 11:15 and 11:20 (just before and while the Doctor says 'Right, let's go.'), but I don't have the DVD so it's hard to tell with the video quality. Does anyone with the DVD have a good clear screenshot that would answer this quandary?
2) How many rows of ribbing do I need for the waistline and neckline of the sweater? If anyone is going to the Doctor Who Experience soon, could you please take a pic for me? Please and thank you!
