gnomiAs I mentioned last week, mabfan found a pattern for knitting a Dalek, and I set about knitting one.
Well, it's done. So now I bring you the narrative of the knitting.
(Many photos behind cut)
Genesis of the Dalek
I started with Lamb's Pride Worsted: one skein in Charcoal Heather and one in Onyx. I used US size 4 (3.5 mm) needles, one 16" circular and one set of 6" double pointeds.
Evolution of the Dalek
Next up? I'm going to knit a TARDIS.
(Additional Dalek process pictures can be found here.)
