Hey all--I belong to a group on Facebook called "Stitches in Time"--it's a page about the 4th Doctor's scarves. Since this year is the 50th anniversary, this idea came up ( Read more... )

Oh wow, I don't know how to knit or crochet, but I would be willing to learn to do this! *flail* :D
I'm watching the 4th Doctor on UKTV at the moment and loving it :D

Will you be doing this as well? Or have you finished making scarves *LOL* ;)

Which pattern would you recommend for an absolute beginner who might have trouble sourcing the correct wools? :O

p.s. I"m sorry if I've done something to make you upset or angry with me *clings* I love you, you're a wonderful friend, and if I've done something, please tell me so I can fix it? :(

WHy would I be angry? Sorry if I haven't been around, sweetie--life has been extreme lately! come on, you know I love you!

OK--the easiest thing to make would be a garter (knit) stitch square. Look on you tube to learn how to do a long tail cast-on, and then how to do a basic knit stitch. How many stitches you cast on to make 8 inches will depend on the thickness of the yarn you use. I can help you with that once you pick out the yarn.

This will take a while, so I would suggest--if you are going to do this--practice for a week or two. Oh yeah--you'll also need a video on how to bind-off. It's not hard, though.

Oh yeah--actually, I have a few squares that I can block out to 8 inches that I plan to send. I just got the address of where to send them today. I will probably make another one or two, though. I am still working on the scarves--well, scarf, atm--and I also have a sweater I'm working on.

Why on earth did you think I might be angry? You silly woman, you.

Peace,
Shelley

Sweetie--I am so sorry! I tried to reply to your email, but then my stupid mail program won't send out mail and I don't know why. I'm sorry to be so terrible a friend!

F and I are doing well. I haven't been on LJ lately, and have been tired, so I haven't posted. But I do love you, am not mad at you, and I figure you should be mad at me for not responding sooner and causing you distress! So sorry!

I want to take shop (cosplay) with you. A nursing a headache atm so I'm not quite up to it. I JUST saw your email, as well. I should have written you sooner--I have been a bad friend. I'll explain more asap.

I hope you can forgive me. I feel lousy for being so not there for you!

Love,
Shelley
