Knit who, purl sue

[cdave]

The BBC take down of Dr. Who knitting patterns made it to a brief mention on the Today show headlines. Surliminal posted a couple of reactions with regard to fan sites and copyrights.

It was pointed out to me that knitted hats should be floppy. I think I'm using too small needles for the wool. Ah well, at least with stitches this dense it'll keep my head warm.

Seen the story in the Times about Doctor Who knitting today? There's a picture of a superb Adipose.

She's a smashing lass and talented too.

And a bleeding quick knitter too. I'd hate to see the size of her stash considering how little of each colour there was in each critter.

For the record, I thought the knitted Face of Boe was really clever.

Do you know who she gave a pattern to who sold the result on ebay? thats what started all this.

[cdave]

I'm not sure it was the same pattern. The hands look wrong.

It's not that difficult. I only started this year.

Get a book, or visit a stitch 'n' bitch session or just look at the pretty videos.

The hardest part is finding the time! I only managed 4 rows in the pub with the joinees last night :)

Simply wow.

I seriously need to learn how to knit with DP needles, the ones I have inherited are traditional OP and no such thing can be done with then.
I neeed to buy some DP and start a nice neet vest or sweater :)

Thanks.

Took a while to get the hang of, but that's probably because I started at a very small diameter.
