Hello, everyone!  I just wanted to say hi - I've neglected my LJ for a few years now, but I discovered the greatness of Doctor Who just under a year ago.  I've already made one Dalek, and plan to make (many)more.  I've also done a crocheted Five, and am going to work on a Four soon.  I've been knitting for just over two years now and it has totally

Aww, that is adorable!

[awoods5]

Why thank you! I've got more sparkly Dalek yarn - I expected it to take much more than half a skein!

[paxieamor]

holy cow, how big of a skien was it?

[awoods5]

It was Patons Brilliant, one ball of each color, and I have enough to make another with the colors reversed. He was a $6 Dalek. :)

HAIL THE PINK SPARKLY DALEK!
WORSHIP IT!
WORSHIP IT!
WORSHIP IT!

Hee hee. I really should knit one up myself but I fear the instructions for icord because I'm a bit pants on head when it comes to knitting icord.

[awoods5]

HE IS HAILED!!!

There's so little icord I was going to say that there was none! But seriously, if there's not a YouTube video, I can make one. I seem to find the things that "they" seem to think you should know and there's no real instruction on them, and then I make a mini-vid of it.

I think I just need to grit my teeth and not follow the instructions I've read of icord-with-two-dpns which doesn't look good when I do it. I need to magic-loop it because that's the method I'm comfortable with, even if it takes me for-freaking-ever to do it.

I guess I'm still traumatized after 4 years. I tried icord 4 years ago, hated it, and never went back. To the point of either avoiding patterns with icord or changing the pattern to eliminate it. I have icordphobia.

Must be fearless knitter!

[awoods5]

Fearless is good. A knitting nobby is better!

Thank you!

Now forever in my mind the Dread Dalek shall be linked to The Spanish Inquisition! :)

"Look at the Aztecs... EXTERMINATE!!"

He does kick all sorts of butt~

[awoods5]

Heehee! Would it be Monty Dalek, or Dalek Python?? :)

[kalendargirl]

Me too!!
Pink is the new Dalek?
Sparkles are the new Exterminate?

[awoods5]

Thank you!
In this case, I think sparkles are the new Dalek, since I've got three more colors of sparkle to make into them!

The ribbing adds a really great touch!

[awoods5]

Thanks, but it wasn't me. I followed the EXTERMI-KNIT pattern to the letter.

I think pink sparkly Daleks should be in the season finale.
