Cuddly bit of evil
December 30th, 2008I did finally break free from the allure of the scarf, setting it aside yesterday in order to cast on for Richard’s birthday present. Every year I try to knit him at least one thing that is goofy; in years past he’s received a penguin and a felted jellyfish, among others. This year I decided, since we are both Dr. Who fans, that he needed his very own Dalek.
I started this yesterday morning; this afternoon I wove in all the ends, and this evening I gave it to him as an early birthday present. Here he is, Richard’s very own cuddly evil Dalek of doom.
The pattern is Exterminknit, and I used some random acrylic from my stash. I would like to state, for the record, that this project has pretty much cemented in me a deep and abiding hatred of bobbles. But otherwise, it was a fun project to make, and I think it’s safe to say that it made a definite hit.
