A while ago my partner Christopher and I started watching (old and new) episodes of the incomparable British sci-fi TV show Dr. Who (so brilliant, and I'm not sure why it took me until 2007 to catch on). Then I thought it might be fun to knit Christopher a replica of the 4th Doctor Tom Baker's signature superlong, multi-striped scarf, and at some point I googled "Dr. Who scarf" to find some reference images to devise a pattern. To my surprise, I found a site devoted entirely to said scarf, complete with patterns by season (it changed slightly), yarn recommendations and photos galore. I was sold. A few weeks later, a huge box of Brown Sheep yarn from Paradise Fibers arrived and I was off. I started shortly after Christmas and I have about two feet done. I anticipate it being about twelve feet long, and I stupidly promised Christopher that I'd finish it by Valentine's Day. 
I am experiencing a bit of stockinette-induced malaise, and my thoughts keep wandering to lace work, socks –– anything to break up the monotony. A visit to Knitty uncovered this ridiculously gorgeous project, which is now high on my to-knit-next list.
