Anyway, it had come around again to my friend's birthday, and I was trying to figure out what to make or get him. And, eventually, I came around to this.
Pattern: Extermiknit!, the Dalek, by Penwiper
Yarn: Cascade 220 Quatro in a pink shade and Valley Yarns Amherst in eggplant, on US 4 needles
Notes: And it just turned out so cute that I then had to make one for myself, which led to this:
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Brown Sheep Worsted in periwinkle and Patons Classic Merino in peacock, on US 4 needles
Notes: Two color knitting and I still have a difference of opinion, but I'm newly in love with corrugated ribbing.
So, in the time period before I mailed off the pink Dalek to his new home, that meant I had two Doctor Whos and two Daleks in my apartment. Which inevitably led to these (I was going for battle scenes, but I didn't have enough hands, and the Doctors did not want to stand up on their own)...
And yes, I have been told that I am both daft and bonkers. In the best possible way, of course.
