I think I may need you to teach me how to crochet when you visit. I learnt once ages ago but it'd be fun to try again.

lols that would be no problem at all, though I guess we might be too busy! Less than a month now!!!

[scifi_mel]

That's a good point! ;) CAN'T wait!!! I just finished the last of the Doctor Who novels I bought from the Doctor who shop so we will have to go back! :)

[luna1130]

Definitely! And I also can't wait to attend the exhibition!

Hi. Here from Crafty_Tardis. Thanks so much for the pattern. I'll have to brush up my crochet skills for it.

Hi! Here from crafty_tardis :). Thanks a lot for the pattern. I'll have to assign right the operations first (because I'm not english) (and then remember the crocheting because I haven't do it for years (and also never really do it, so it will be... well, we'll see %D), but all that dolls in community and especially yours are so inspiring and adorable I must try to make at least one :).
So thanks again! :)

You are very welcome, hope you will have no problem brushing up your crochet skills! I'm gonna get my lazy ass working and make a proper Doctor pattern out of this, promise. Hopefully next weekend!

May I have few questions about the instructions

[luna1130]

Don't worry, just ask away if there's anything unclear

Thank you so much for this pattern. I've been looking for a basic template and found my way here after seeing your awesome Eleven and River. Can't wait to try this pattern and variations of :)

Hello, me again! :)
Can I have one more question? After practice (that simple patterns you recommended - and it was actually helpfull and also fun! ^^) I've tried again to follow this pattern and I've had problems with this working in rounds (that "practices" were both made in spirals). Either I have in each other row one extra stitch or start of the row was "wandering" all along the row. (and still somehow number of stitches were bigger at the end then they should be {it's the number in brackets, isn't it?}
I think I doing the first stitch of the row in wrong loop or what.
I've tried to found something on the internet but found only working in spirals or rounds like shell of the snail.
I'm sorry fot teasing you again but maybe you know about some site on internet where it's shown how to work in rounds? Please?

(well, in fact I was going on somehow and now I have one doll almost complete (it's supposed to be Rose) but next time I'd rather be working properly %D)

[luna1130]

It took me ages to figure it out too! Well still no idea if I do it "properly" but it works to keep stitch numbers, that's good enough for me. :) So, the trick is, after you make the slip stitch & the one chain, the 1st single crochet of the new row must be worked into the same stitch as the slip stitch was. Then put the stitch marker into the top of this new sc, and do the whole round. When you finish the row, the marker will help you to put the slip stitch to the right place (there will be a stitch-like thingy that must be skipped - it doesn't belog to the current row but is the joining of the previous row

[ilwin]

Oh, not only me then! That's calming! :))
Thank you very much for another advice!
Yes, of course it could be done in spirals but I want it perfect! ;) So I hope it will be better next time %)

Well, I have some respect or what to do The Doctor ;), (and that's why I'm doing Rose as for the first time, not the Doctor) so I'd better follow your exact pattern ^^.
(and of course I'll show Rose. I'll post picture(s) in crafty_tardis {only hair and eyes remain now, so maybe it'll be today})
