A year or so ago, I don't remember now, I offered to make Kyle a Doctor Who scarf. We decided to the Season 18 scarf, but we couldn't find the correct colours, so Kyle chose black, red and a sort of mustard colour.
I got knitting and I must've got about halfway through it before the garter stitch drove me absolutely batty with boredom and I put it away.
Kyle didn't say anything at the time as it was summer, but as Christmas approached and it got colder he voiced concerns to my mum that I wasn't going to get it finished. She nagged me and I got to work.
I forced myself to put down my current shawl, put my spinning wheel away, ignore my spindles and knit mindless garter stitch.
It went on and on and on and on and...well, you get the idea!
But, last week, I finished!
This thing is humongous! As you can see it stretches across the room and then some (the pic with Alex was taken while I was still knitting it!)
I've wrapped it and put it under the tree. I can't wait for Kyle to open it and model it on Christmas Day!
