Scarf Length

Well....maybe a "Dr. Who WRAP," for you.....his scarves always made me laugh.

I tried to convince Jen to include a Doctor Who joke in the original Blog post, but she wouldn't have any of it! I'm glad somebody else sees the humor in gargantuan scarves

And I thought my Dr. Who comment was being overlooked as being snarky, or that my warped sense of humor was just not appreciated. That happens when you used to watch too much Public Television and British comedy!

"We recommend using worsted weight or thinner to ensure your scarf doesn’t end up like The Doctor’s!"

Well, well, look what I see in the blog now......

Love Dr. Who. Actually I made a Season 14 scarf for my daughter for Christmas which is actually the shortest and it was still about 16'. Loved working on it. Anyway we are jokingly referring to this project as my Dr. Whoesque wrap. Loving this project as well.

I have never watch Dr. Who. until now. I saw it listed on Netflix but never considered watching it. So, last night, after reading all the post about his scarf, I decided to watch it. Now, I have watched several episodes of Season 1. It is interesting and a bit ridiculous. I haven't see the scarf yet. I looked it up online and I now know what you are talking about. I can't wait to see the scarf in the series.

I have loved reading everyone's comments here. Laughed out loud SEVERAL times.
It's great to talk to all of you every day.

I'm not doing the border between months, and my stitch is turning out nice enough that I might not need a border around the edges, BUT I was stupid and carried colours up a couple rows instead of tying off and weaving in later, so I might have to do a border anyway to cover up those strands.

I decided to do an afghan with the low temperature, weather, then high temperature for each day. Well, 4 hours of crocheting and 5 rows later, I discover that my plan isn't working. Using a size G crochet hook, my afghan will measure over 30 feet long! Unfortunately, a size F hook separates the yarn so much that it makes using it too frustrating. Back to the drawing board. I was so excited about this idea.

I don't know if this would look nice, but you could make 3 afghans, each 1/3 of the stitches of the original: one each for the high, low and weather, and then sew them together to get the same width and hopefully only 10' long... or just crochet it all at once, but you'd have the two colour changes in the middle of each row. Or you could just make three full-width afghans, one for each category. This second way would use as much yarn as your original idea.

Good luck, and either way, let us know what you end up doing!

You could also do 4 afghans (one for each season) and each afghan can have 3 columns (one for high temps, one for low temps and one for the weather. However, you may find that would be too busy depending upon your climate/city you are representing.

Alternatively, you could do granny squares and each square would represent the high, low and weather for each day and still do the 4 afghans to represent the seasons so it is not super large.

Let us know what you decide!

Thank you for the suggestions, Ninjette. I was thinking about doing something like that. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. I will let you know. Thanks again!
