Soooo you may have gathered from one or two {or three or four or five or six} previous posts that I'm a fangirl. You may also know that I crochet, although I think I've only got one dedicated post to a project. Well, this post is going to combine these two loves, because I finished the Doctor Who scarf!
Here's the pattern I used:
You may have seen the first half {the two left columns} already on Instagram...
I measured that half against myself and it is almost 3 times my "wingspan," which is supposed to also be my height, which is 5'4". I'll do the math: the scarf is over 15 feet long.
But wait! There's more!
Here are the two halves together {first half on top}:
And here are the two side by side:
The width looks uneven because of the different thickness of the yarns. If/when I make another, I will get all the same thickness and everyone will think I've drastically improved my ability to count stitches...
You may be wondering why I made one scarf into two scarves, and I will tell you: can you imagine one person wearing ALL THAT YARN at one time!?!? And by one person, I mean a person of my height, because obviously the Doctor already wore it.
I chose to make a friendship scarf, and Samara and I will both have a half. We will be together across the states, our necks {and probably the rest of us} will be warm, and our fandom will be represented - all around wins.
If you would like to wear your fandom, have suggestions for a future project, or just want to gush/fangirl, post a comment!

Whohoo! Even though I do not share your love of Dr. Who, I am impressed with your mad crochet skills. It looks comfy, and it must have taken you a loooooong time. Yay for being done with this project!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! It was a lot of work {easy work, but lots of it!} and I'm really proud of it! Can't wait for winter now :)
DeleteWay to go!!! Looks awesome (even with uneven yarn ;-) ). I like to wear my fandom as well....I do have an Arwen Evenstar necklace (which I need to wear again). :-) That's great that you and Samara will both have a half.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine! Definitely looking forward to wearing this baby, and if you ever want something that you don't want to crochet yourself, let me know :)
DeleteLove the scarf! Honestly, I don't know how even Tom Baker (tall as he is) wore the whole thing without at collapsing under the weight or least baking from the heat! That is quite an impressive crochet project!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Do you know the story of how the scarf came into existence? The producers asked a lady to knit a scarf and they gave her some yarn, and she kept knitting until ALL the yarn was used! I wouldn't have that patience if I didn't have an end in sight :-p
