Doctor Who scarf!!

...Well, almost. :) It's based on the Doctor's scarf in season 13, (classic Who), but is instead blue. It's a great pattern that I found here, and works up really quickly. I have been working on mine on and off for 13 days, and it's not quite half way done and is around about 57 inches (144cm) long!! Crazy! It's lovely and soft though - I used the yarn the pattern recommended (Cascade 220) which is 100% Peruvian highland wool. Crazy expensive, but nice to work with.

Crafty goodness. :D

It's been a while since I updated this. Having long finished the Minecraft blanket saga, I have since moved onto other things.

My first idea was to master the art of arm knitting, (seen here: Arm knitting), and knit myself an infinity scarf. It took a while getting the hang of casting on, especially as the video I was using was face-on rather than as I would be seeing my work, but I don't thinkI did too bad. Overall, it took me just under an hour to complete the whole scarf, start to end. I did this on March 31st.


I thoroughly enjoyed making this, and kind of wish I had reason to make more. Maybe Christmas presents? ^^

After completing the scarf, I started work on some friendship charm bracelets. These were a family request, and took around about a day each. There are actually 4 of them, but I haven't taken photos of the last one yet. Overall I am very pleased with these - I think they've come out beautifully.


April has been a brilliantly crafty month. :)
