I don't know if you remember my mentioning knitting a Dr Who scarf for son #1 ages ago, but just so you know, I did finish it. Not last winter but in time for this one! There it is - although in this photo it hasn't been stretched out yet. At full lenth the scarf is supposed to be approximately twelve and a half feet long. Apparently I'm a tight knitter - mine only ended up about eleven and a half feet. Oh, well. I have some leftover yarn and might make a half size one; it'd be a little easier to wear on an everyday basis.
If you want to knit one for yourself I used this pattern.
Keeping with the Dr Who theme I knit these Daleks about three or four years ago:
The pattern for them used to be on Knitting Pattern Central but disappeared - I think it's still out there somewhere if you search for it.
I also made not one but two R2D2 hats:
Two patterns for R2D2 hats are on Knitting Pattern Central. I took elements of both patterns and sort of did my own thing. One of them has duplicate stitch for some of the details - in which I found out I hate doing duplicate stitch. The other was my first attempt at intarsia knitting - in which I found out it was really not difficult and kind of fun.
Somewhere around here is a little green alien I knit too. Do I knit normal things like sweaters? Nah, boring.
