Extermiknit! How to knit a dalek...

I just found this and I simply HAD to share…

OMG. Bookmark’d for later. I think I have the perfect gold yarn for it too.

I don’t knit, or I’d be all over that. But mostly I just wanted to congratulate you on an awesome thread title. :smiley:

I’m flattered, but I can’t claim credit - it’s what Orata, the author of ‘Feather and Fan’ called the project.

I was like “Hmm cute, it’s a fabric Dalek, whatevs.”

And then I saw the inside of the pouch.

jaw dropped

That was pure, unadulterated, wooly awesomeness.

I don’t knit, but this makes me want to learn.

Yes, I am aware that saying that makes me sound like those people who listen to a Chopin Ballade and say “I want to learn to play that. Nope, no other pieces, just that one.”

My sister made me one for Christmas two years ago - awesomeness!

Aah, a cuddly Dalek. Just make sure you don’t use the New Paradigm pattern :eek:

I can think of a slightly more obvious (and much safer) choice for knitting an alien.

My friend will love this - she knits Daleks without the Kaled inside, as well as Klein bottle hats and Mobius scarves.
