I Kissed A Girl An-Dalek'd It

I'm stealing my own blog title!!
My friend had a birthday and so I knitted him an appropriately Gold Dalek.
The pattern is ExtermiKnit (it's a Ravelry link)
It was reasonably easy and very Daleky. I can recommend it.
Along the same lines I've knitted a Dalek face cloth for a swap. The green doesn't photograph very well. It is Exfoliate (Ravelry link)


And then there is the TARDIShcloth!!! (Ravelry link too)


And finally my friend MrsDrWho's TARDIS tissue box cover. I was inspired by this.

Join our First Swap!!!

Vinny and I are organising a swap for our group through the medium of Ravelry. If you are not a member of Ravelry you can join very easily, with very little fuss.

1. Go to http://www.ravelry.com and you just join by submitting your email address.
2. The Ravelry poeple send you an invitation within a few days.
3. Sign in and then search for our group, creatively named Sci Fi Kal!!!!
4. Read the post about the swap and sign up if you want to join.

Here's a quick precis:

Vinny and I are organising a swap for our group!! Please read the ‘rules’ and sign up by February 28th. We’ll have a week to organise the swappers and we will PM to ask for your details. Parcels need to be posted by April 4th. I know that sounds a long time, but it gives people lots of time to check in here and then sign up.

Your swap should include these three things:

1. Something you have crafted yourself
2. Something useful to a knitter/crocheter, whatever your swap pal prefers
3. Something Sci-Fi or Fantasy your swap pal would like

These may not be mutually exclusive, but you should try to send 3 items if you can, to a value of $25 AUD, 11 pounds UK, $30 NZD, $20 Canadian and $16 USD(excluding postage) I converted these so please let me know if I am wildly off kilter!! Please be aware that if you choose to post internationally there may be some items prohibited by Customs (once they took my tea bag from America.

Thanking you kindly,

2paw

Our Vidcast on Dr. Who Knit Monsters

Our Vidcast Yarn N'at did an episode on the Adipose and Odd knit montersers.

I've Sci-Fi Knitted at Long Last

Finally I have something I can post here!!! I knitted a Doctor Who logo felted bag for my friend MrsDrWho. I charted the logo pattern and then knitted in in a mix of reds, oranges and yellows. The lighter colours didn't felt as well as the 12ply Rustic did. I sewed the bottom corners like I do to make a rectangular base on a sewn bag and it has i-cord handles and edging!! I desperately want one for myself. I think I'll have a green tweed one with a TARDIS and/or K9. I also sewed her a little quilt with some Daleks embroidered on it!!! Thanks Vinny for the Dalek cutter swap, I used it as the template!!!
