Me? I’m the Doctor

I’ve been meaning to post an update of the scarf, but I didn’t have much else to write about.  So I guess I’ll just write more about Doctor Who to go with it.

First of all, look how beautiful:

Yeah, there's going to be a lot of weaving those ends.

I’ve been knitting for hours straight when I get home from work, and it has been insane.  I started last Tuesday shortly after I posted about the yarn.  In that time, I’ve done 474 rows of 60 stitches, and I’m nearly halfway done.  I’m estimating right now it’ll be about 8 ft when I’m done, before stretching and tassels.  I think I’m knitting so much because I’m so excited for it to be done.  Once it got to be a substantial length and started really looking like a scarf, I was so pleased with how much I had done and how great it looked that I just kept going.

That and the fact that I’ve been watching Doctor Who nonstop while working.  Seriously, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.  Ever.  David Tennant is truly a brilliant Doctor, but the other characters are fantastic.  I literally cried when I watched the Season 2 finale last night when one of my favorite characters left the show.  Netflix instant streaming is a miracle for this stuff.  The first four seasons are up on there (well, the first four new ones), and considering I’m going through these episodes at 6-8 in one sitting, I couldn’t handle having to wait for a new disc every 4 episodes.  I’ll just have to deal with it for some of the older ones that aren’t online yet.

I won’t go on and on about everything I love about it, but I highly, highly recommend checking it out.  The first season definitely has some cheesy special effects because they were just starting up and didn’t seem to have much of a budget, but if you can look past that, the characters and storylines are amazing.  The Doctor technically continues on from the old series that ended in 1989, but they make a good transition at Series 1 in 2005 that you can easily start watching then and understand what’s going on.

Plus it doesn’t hurt that David Tennant is adorable.
