Doctor who scarf...done!!

Yay!!! Finally after months of hard work, I can say that I have now made the doctor who scarf!
I actually finished it last week but things have been so busy that I just hadn't gotten round to telling you until now. I nearly told you about it in my last post but thought I'd leave it so that it could get the full spotlight and attention.
The scarf is now so big that it was a two man job to get the pictures of it done and of course, you need to see a picture of me actually wearing it don't you!!
All of my spare time was spent on this project. Now that it's completed, it really did feel like I found myself at a bit of a loss on what to do instead!
I've since managed to fill this little void in my life now though by doing (yep, you guessed it) more knitting.
The knitting bug has well and truly got it's hold on me.
I'm learning a lot of techniques I've never tried before so I've found it great fun and a bit of a personal challenge to teach myself. So far I've managed the art of Intarsia, fair isle and the double pointed needles. Cicular needle-ing has also been done but I've not been able to do anything on them because I think I've got the wrong length for what I had in mind.
So with all this knitting I've been doing, it's meant that I have/am going to have, lots of thing to show you!
