The making of the TARDIgan part 1

The TARDIS. Dr Who's vehicle of choice and one of my favourite things to craft. Over the years I have made many TARDIS's, I've met it a few times (living in South Wales does have its benefits!)

I have embroidered it

Knit a bag

Made it out of clay

Paper

And even, when I broke my ankle, asked for my cast to be in TARDIS blue so I could draw this on the back

Basically I'm a big fan!

I've even made the 4th doctor's scarf

I have never made a crochet tardis though, as I knew that I didn't have the time, skill or ability to make what I wanted, a full length TARDIS cardigan, or TARDIgan if you will.

This year, my youngest decided she wanted to go to comic con, originally we were going to one that would have K9 and a Dr who section (since changed for a bigger one with more stuff to see!).but anyway, I decided this was the time for the TARDIgan, and so the plan began. I drew some stuff, I measured my TARDIS model (of course I have a model) and then tried to wing it. It did not go well

I made it this far before I realised it wasnt wide enough, and would only be hip length, hardly the drama I wanted. So I frogged and replanned.....
