Tom Baker scarf! (images4-f.ravelrycache.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/knitting
 

For my intro to the community, thought I'd share one of my more ridiculous newbie projects from back in the day!

A friend of mine expressed a desire for the classic Tom Baker scarf, and his birthday just happened to be coming up. So of course total knitting newbie me spent every second of every day frantically knitting this ridiculous thing.

It had all the classic new knitter tropes. Messy bits where I'd purled instead of knitted.. Yarns of all different fibres in an attempt to get accurate colours, which meant some bits of it felt and draped differently to others. And of course, some bits were significantly wider than others!

All of my hard work was well rewarded though because he loved it and wore it into the ground. Job well done.
