Is there are knitting patten for a miniture 3rd Doctor?

Or is anyone whilling to knit me one (I live in Australia)

Hello fellow crafters/knitters/crocheters! I've had an influx of versions of the 4th Doctor's scarf flow from my crochet hook over the last few months and I thought I'd share them. :)













While I enjoyed wearing a Doctor Who scarf around and about this winter, I think the doll version is my favorite. ^_^

I haven't seen any new posts here in a while, but I'd like to let you know that I am accepting commissions for the Season 19 Peter Davison sweater via Etsy.

Hi!! 

I've been stalking this comm for a while  (sorry I'm a bit shy), I'm a self taught beginner knitter and right now I'm working on a sweater for my dog because I think she won't mind if I mess it up a little :)... Well for my next project I'm thinking about the famous season 12 Tom Baker scarf  but also I'd like to try to knit Rose's scarf from Boomtown, I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find a pattern for that scarf (Rose's)  and the colors of the yarn? :)  and maybe any advise for both the Doctor's and Rose's scarfs? 

:)  Thanks!! 

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!

Here's four of the five scarves I've made over the course of the last year:

( Scarf pics... )
Aside from the Season 12, which is my sentimental favourite because it was the first I'd ever made, all of my scarves have been sold. The three others pictured were commissioned by my aunt in California, and an identical Season 14 was commissioned by my girlfriend's professor. After over 50 feet of scarves in a year, I'm not making any more for a LONG time.

...Okay, hands up, who watched "Closing Time" and went, "...I have got to knit that"? :)

Just me, then?

(Well, they were originally something that the marketing department came up with to spin-off as toys... ;) )

Someone asked about this pattern a long time ago, and I've finally gotten around to writing it up and posting it. Just in time for winter!

This was a really fun pattern to create. Stranded knitting in the round was a new experience for me, but fairly simple once I got the knack of keeping my floats loose. And the double-layered result is SO snuggly and warm!



Pattern on my website here, Ravelry link here. Enjoy!

I decided to make a Fifth Doctor scarf and finished it this morning.

Full length, right side:


( pictures )

So I just found out about this group through a fellow whovian's LJ and I thought I'd inrtoduce myself and share in the Doctor Who love. ^_^ Been crocheting since I was about 8, but have only truly been active with crafting things for the last 5 years. After getting bored with scarfs and clothes, I finally gave in a decided to try the amigurumi trend and I think I've found a talent in my take on it. Then once I saw Doctor Who this spring, well, it didn't take long until I started churning out these:

( The 9th Doctor )
( The 10th Doctor )
( The 11th Doctor )
( The 8th Doctor )

That's all the Doctors I've made so far, but I have designs to make all of them before the year is out. And a Time Lord couldn't travel without his....
( TARDIS )

Last is the small amount of other characters I've made so far. Several New Who companions and a Dalek are in the planning/designing stages still.

( Rose Tyler )
( Cyberman )
( Weeping Angel )

Sorry this is so image heavy. I scaled down the pictures to help compensate for that hopefully without loosing any detail quality. Anyway I hope you enjoy and I look forward to seeing all the lovely projects you fellow knitters/crocheters will post in the future!

How to make a scarf go really really fast: use bulky wool and scale down the dimensions to acknowledge that you're a foot shorter than Tom Baker.

How to make a scarf go really really slow again: teach yourself to knit plaid and polka dots from first principles.

Hi everyone.

I'm knitting myself a blanket with Doctor Who motives.

I started spinning on a wheel last year and still learing different technics. Since with every new technic there is a learing curv I have a lot of "not really balanced or preety"-yarn. With this yarn, dyed green, I'm knitting said blanket.

I already used the TARDIS- and Dalek-Dishcloth patterns, but obviously needed more.

( Pics of all four so far: )

So I charted a "Seal of Rassilon" and a "Cybermen"-Dishcloth and you can download the pattern here:

Cyberman: download now

Seal of Rassilon: download now

Both patterns are written and charted.

Hi everyone :)

For all the knitters who have been missing out on the crochet versions, here is my Matt Smith big and cuddly pattern converted into knitting ^_^

Jump over to my blog Pixelated Mushroom to download the free pattern



Pattern includes instructions for both knitting flat or knitting in the round, so beginners can have a go too.

I posted about the crochet version on Crafty Tardis here

Hi all,

I found the TARDIS socks pattern on Ravelry and just had to make a pair for a friend.

I used some rather cheap vari-coloured sock yarn and some black and white yarns I had in my stash.
Very pleased with the result: ( under the cut )

Awhile back I shared a pair of TARDIS socks I knit and mentioned how I was also knitting a pair of TARDIS fingerless gloves for a friend. Well, they're done and here they are!

( *wooshing TARDIS appearing noise* )

I have a knitting blog on Tumblr, if anyone is interested in following me. I'm also on Ravelry as tricycles. I love making new crafty friends. :)

Hi lovelies,
it's been ages since I checked in with a Doctor Who project, but finally inspiration came and made me laugh out loud. I just had to write this up.

“It’s a fez, I wear a fez now… Fezzes are cool”
Flip top mitts featuring Matt Smith’s bowtie and favourite fez. Mitts flip towards front of hand & fasten with buttons so as not to obscure bowtie

Pattern PDF can be found here



I'd been meaning to create flip top mitts for a while, but wasn't sure of a theme. Then I saw a couple of stencil style images that just showed Matt Smith's bowtie and fez and the idea of featuring these on some mitts came to mind.

I hope they make you laugh too - and that they could be handy for Doctor Who swaps and the like!

I was wondering if anyone has a pattern for a scarf that is based on a Doctor other than Four. I've knitted two smaller versions of his scarf, but would like to do at least one for another Doctor. Since I'm still pretty new to knitting and am not good at improvising, I thought it would be best to ask if anyone here has a pattern for a scarf based on the clothing of a different Doctor. I looked through the tags and didn't notice any patterns like this.

Hi there! A few months ago, I bought a whole lot of blue, beige and navy blue wool (two balls each) in an ambitious plan to knit a Kindle Cozy based on River Song's diary for a friend.

The inspiration came from this:

Link to Tardis kindle cozy

which I thought would be easy to change into the diary.

And that's where I hit some snags. You see, my friend has one of those covers that comes with a notebook, so she wants the cozy to fit over that. Also, I've never done colourwork before, but I want it to look as realistic as possible, using navy blue and Tardis blue as well as knitted texture to show the shape and feel of the book, and beige/yellowy/old paper coloured wool for the edges of the pages, which I thought could be done in 1x1 ribbing.

It seems pretty simple, right? But every time I try to knit it, I fail miserably at the maths.

This version of the diary is what the idea in my head is based on:

link although I think it would need to be a bit thicker as a book.

I tried to sketch out the idea in Paint. Originally I was going to knit it all as one piece, in the round. But that just seems ridiculously complicated now, with the colour changes and my failure to do basic arithmetic. Bear in mind that this is a very rough sketch, but it should give the general idea.

So it seems more reasonable to do it in sections and sew them all together. Oh, and one more thing (to further complicate it) - the friend has asked that it open on the side (long edge) rather than the top (short edge). Sheesh!

Here is the very rough and badly done Paint diagram:
( LJ-cut rescues you from pictures! )

Oh wondrous community of geeky knitters, will you help me on my quest to make this kindle cozy? *peers over shoulder* You're my only hope!

Also, if this works, I plan to release the pattern publicly, and will happily attribute gratitude and credit to all contributors. Go team!

:D

Hello there.
I have watched this community for some time but wanted to wait until I had finished my first project - yes, the scarf - until I posted something.
But since I´m easily distracted and work on many projects simultaneously, I have more things to share, including armwarmers, another scarf, the beginning of a scarf and two tams of Rassilon

( THE Scarf )

( The Tams of Rassilon )


( The other scarf )

The following projects are a bit subtler in their approach, but no less geeky.

I just recently started knitting about two weeks ago and just finished a tardis patterned loop scarf. I was wondering if any of you guys could give comments/advice/ideas for it? I'm still pretty new to knitting and unsure if it's all right.

see it here!

Does a crochet pattern for the scarf exist or do crocheters just improvise their own? For anyone that has attempted the project before, is it harder or easier to crochet the scarf than knitting it?

I love knitting, although I'm a little lacking in skill. My first scarf project has gone on for....... an embarrassingly long time.

So, I decided a special project may help me get some real drive, and what's more special than that classic geek project, the Tom Baker scarf.

It was partially my mum's idea. We were cleaning out the attic and she found her old knitting machine. She said that she would teach me how to use it and I could make a Doctor Who scarf. I jumped at the chance, but is it cheating a little if I use a machine?

But I was just hoping that I could get some pointers about wool colour matching or just general tips.

I'm aiming for it to be the pattern of the original Tom Baker scarf.

Thanks guys for any help that you can give me, this is a great community.

Shortlist.com just put up a new article on Doctor Who crocheted dolls... and they featured mine! *does happy dance*

You can find the article HERE.

I've been learning to knit so I can make my own scarf. Trying to figure it out on my own was fairly disastrous, so I took a few basic lessons at a local store. They ended yesterday, and I brought in what I had done on my scarf so far. Only the instructor was unable to answer one of my questions. I thought someone here probably could.

Hello! This is the first time I've posted here I was directed here over from dw_cosplay ! I have been looking for Amy Pond's Vampire's of Venice/Vincent & The Doctor scarf for some time now & have had no joy! (Somebody told me that her sister will be posting a replica on Etsy in a few weeks but I thought I would ask here as well) I have just recently taken up knitting but if I wait till I master it I'll be in old age!

So I was wondering if anyone here knits custom items & would be willing to knit this for me?

It has been previously discussed here - http://community.livejournal.com/crafty_tardis/342898.html

and from that post I like the pattern shown here -http://www.saunalahti.fi/meriam1/ohjeet/fftoppi/fftop_en.html ( I know this is for a tank top but hopefully it can be changed to make a scarf?)

I should mention I live in Scotland so obviously a UK knitter would be best but if anyone elsewhere is willing then thats great :) If you could also give me an idea of what price you would charge that would be fab :)

Thanks

Debbie
