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

Heard the most beautiful story today about that (hope it's true!):

When Tom Baker decided his character would wear a scarf, one of the Beeb's props bods went on a scavenge around the dept and packaged up all the findable yarn and sent it to an old lady that the Beeb used to use for knitting every once in a while, with a note saying "we need a scarf".
The lady, dutifully kept on knitting until all the wool was used up. The resulting scarf was over 30ft long.
There were several scarfs that Baker used as the Doctor after that.

I love that story! I hope it's true too.

I'm actually pretty excited about having a Fourth Doctor length scarf, lol. It will be personal to me, which I like better than having a replica of his. Also I'm not practiced enough at knitting to do the scarf in knit form, so a super long crochet it is for me. I can't wait actually.

Yay! I wonder how long it will be?

Well, I just finished the first 15 days of January and figured out that my scarf would be about 9.5' long. I am not to thrilled about that long of a scarf so have decided to do an afghan with mine. I plan on doing each month seperately and then sewing together. I am doing 10 colors and useing stash yarns as I need to get some of that gone. I live in the Denver CO area and our temps sometimes get into the 100's so I think I will have a good variation on my colors. I did that KAL afghan last year and loved doing it so am excited about this temperature scarf.

Found a picture of what the scarf will look like.

I decided I want to try this one out as well. And I also decided to go with the crochet version. Then I got really crazy and decided to use DC instead of SC. I wonder how long this will be?

So yeah, I'm only doing 4 rows of the border color on both ends and crocheting only
1 row of a color per day. I want something a bit more practical that I know I'll wear.

That's what I'm doing too, and using lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook. I really want it to be wearable after inversting so much into it.
