A conversation with my characters.

From [livejournal.com profile] cedarlibrarian: Dr. Who fans: Put away those knitting needles or else.

I still have the entire first and second season of Dr. Who sitting here, waiting to be watched. But you have to have respect a fandom that knits its favorite characters.

I have Stargate Atlantis chevron socks (thank you, [livejournal.com profile] wyomingnot!) but a whole character? Not even needlepoint.

In the meantime, my Out Of Bounds characters and I need to have a little memorial day chat.

Now, John. I realize you just got the pressure taken off you. But that doesn't mean you just get to lay around. There's plot! You have a competition to win. Maybe several. There is much work to be done in between here and there.

Rodney. I recognize that you've just put a lot of effort into convincing John to quit that ball-busting job. I respect that. I also realize that you have students, and a busy schedule. But you can't let him fall flat on his face. Yes, yes, I realize he's exhausted himself and you want him to take a break. But you're going soft. You'd never have put up with this in January.

Sonja. Please, show up soon. I think these guys need your unique brand of self-absorbed cynicism.

*kicks characters' tails*

Actually, it's surprisingly relaxing, making those. Plus, cuddly evil. What more could you want?

Now that I'm tempted to send to David Hewlett.

So am I. Though I would want to give it to him in person and I didn't have those when I went to Pegasus 2.

Who knows, maybe by the time the next European con with Hewlett comes around, I'll have finished the matching Boy-Dalek to this one.

They would make nice toys for Baz and you can never start to early on those baby-fans.

I especially like that it's pink and blue. *g*

Glad you like it.

My goodness, I wants a pattern.

Hee! I didn't come up with it. It's Extermiknit by penwiper. She took down the original website in the course of that whole BBC brouhaha, but if you google it, you can still find mirrors.
