Am sad that I haven't got to writing some more blog posts recently, particularly after all the thoughtful comments on the giveaway page. I am enjoying reading everyone's thoughts and look forward to finding a moment to take a look at people's twitter and blogs.
Today was a particularly bad day, I got myself stressed about next year and the fact that bits of my life might be upside-down in January and I would really like them to stay the right way up. But I hope that sleep will fix this bad mood.
I just watched Waters of Mars and am a little afraid to go to sleep... or shower...
And on that subject... a new project is underway... can you guess?
I hope to post Tom Baker's crochet pattern ready for download by tomorrow afternoon. Has anyone had a go at one of the patterns yet? would love to hear how they are working out!
Goodnight!

I have decided to release my Doctor Who crochet patterns as PDFs - and to celebrate - a giveaway! read on!
The Doctor Who community (and indeed the whole craft community) is such a sharing world to be involved in that I would like to see many of my Doctors be created through the work I have put into these patterns. My main hope in making these is that people will show me the Doctors they create from these patterns.
So to celebrate the completion of the David Tennant pattern this afternoon - I've decided to hold my first blog giveaway!
The winner of the giveaway will win their own little plushie. The Doctor is 7cm tall and made with crochet/amigurumi techniques.

I found another nice surprise on Ravelry this week. Gatchan from my logical song had made another TARDIS using my base pattern :)
(PDF freely downloadable HERE)
Again, the decoration is lovely! She has given me permission to feature these photos - aren't they awesome? :D

Well this week I completed my fair isle fingerless gloves with the tree of Gondor on the back of the hands.
They didn't turn out quite as nicely as I'd hoped, but they are still nice to wear. I've decided that even though working on 4 needles created a much nicer fit, it is much quicker and less stressful to just knit the gloves on 2 needles and put up with my slightly wonky seams, I'm sure I will get better as I go along.
Hope everyone had a fun Halloween :)
I'm off to work on some more patterns

Since the name of my blog/shop is pixelated mushroom, I thought it was about time I actually made a mushroom!
This is a crochet amigurumi mushroom - as you can see, there are some gaps between the stitches and the white thread shows through where it shouldn't.
My Doctor Whos have stalled a little, I'm so busy that i haven't had time to sort out what I need to take on the train to complete them. I have been working on patterns and there should be one finished this week however :)
Oh, and the favourite Doctor Who poll over on the right there ends in 2 days - it has been quite interesting. Christopher is lagging far behind (which surprises me) and Peter Davison and Tom Baker are catching up to David Tennant :)
