Adventures into knitting

So as of December 16th I have been able to knit thanks too my Grandma patiently teaching me.  It's been a long term dream of mine to own the full size Tom Baker Dr. Who scarf.  So I thought I'd update my blog (finally) with my progress.  This is a small normal size scarf as its cheaper to complete then the full size scarf which will probably end up around 15 feet long!.


This photograph was taken the after about 4 hours of knitting.  I find that if I'm watching something I can rocket threw rows like nobody's business but if I'm just sat knitting a row seems like an hours work.  I decided to start (finally) watching Sherlock, which is great! but also awesome for knitting too.  Other knitting favourites of mine are Supernatural, Dexter, CSI, Game of Thrones & Mythbusters.


After completing my Dr who scarf I have a few other geeky projects queued up including a number of video game related jumpers, Jayne's hat from firefly and a number of Hogwart's house scarves for my sister and parents.


After about 7 hours work
So knitting has quickly become one of my favourite past times, and hopefully a skill I will master quickly as I want an Aliens jumper and I'm more then a little impatient.
