Mood: Pretty good… I feel like I’ve accomplished something today… We painted one wall of the garage…
Listening to: Dango Daikazoku
So yeah…
A new project. I have long said that I would knit a Doctor Who scarf, and finally I’ve started. You’ll find the original recipe for which one I want to make here. Of course I couldn’t find the right yarn, or the right colours, so I made do with what I found… Here you can see what they used, both yarn and colour, and you get some smashing pointers if you want to be a bit more extravagant.
You’ll also find, here, how you have to knit the scarf to make it correct… and my lord is it.. well, not complex… but… bothersome.. but the result is cool :3
I found this:
The yarn I’m using is called “easy” and it’s 100% Australian merino wool…The knitting needle is, according to the yarn band thingie, supposed to be 8-9… but I’m using a 7.. but the lady in the yarn store said it’d be fine… and she’s a pro, so I’m totally trusting her… AND I’ve seen how the knitting looks, and it looks gooood… XD
There are pictures, but seeing as my blog is being a douche right now, I’m going to post them later…
With the colour number etc…
Burgandy. Colour number 4219
Purple. Colour number 4855
Orange. Colour number 3619
As you can see the last picture taken was on june 21st… and I had knitted some…
and HEY!!!! Finally I can add pictures again XD
Finally… And it means I can picture update what I’ve done…
Gosh, I wish I had been a good girl and taken pictuers…. oh well…
I just took this picture… so this is about a months work… Not diligently working my fingers to the bone a months work, but a few hours here and a few hours there.
If you look closely you can see the horrors of not getting all your yarn in one go, but even if you do get it all in one go, you might still get colour differences. There are patches of slightly darker orange, but I seriously didn’t notise it till I was well past it (darkly lit room) and I couldn’t be bothered to rip it all up to change it. I’ve already had to rip up some of my work. I knitted the wrong colour, which can happen… but it was only that one time, and I am NOT planning on doing that again…
I’ve only got a few days work left now.. I’ll take a picture again when I’m all done… well… with the knitting itself… and again when I’ve attached the tassles.
Update will be heading this way…

Update:
It’s quite a while since I finished the scarf itself. It’s looking very nice. And I’ve spent weeks not bothring to put the tassles on because someone was making fun of it… *scowls*
But since I have good friend who back me and my rediculous ideas up, I finally tassled up the scarf last night.
I first started with them like 4 inches long… and tied them quite tight/close together… but the I read somewhere that they was supposed to be 12 inches long, so I undid everything I had done… and when I had started to make the 12 inch long tasslets, I found out that the 4 inch ones was right after all… but I had already started with the 12 inch ones, and I thought they look better than the 4 inch ones… so this is it…
Tom Baker, I hope you like XD
