Doctor Who is a cult British television show and the longest running Science Fiction program ever. In the series the Doctor is a Timelord able to travel through time and space in his police box shaped spaceship. When the Doctor "dies" he has the convenient ability to "regenerate" allowing another actor to continue the franchise.This week I decided to knit K-9, the Doctor's electric dog companion. Originally featured with the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker (featured in the picture with K-9), this little dog's key phrases are "Affirmative Master" and "Warning Danger Near!" With a retractable nose probe that can latch onto and identify anything, this little dog has it all. As a lovable icon of Doctor Who, K-9 was brought back in the new 2nd season with David Tennet as the Doctor. (Yes, Doctor Who is still running and now the special effects are actually good!) This little companion took me two weeks to compulsively knit, starting over Spring Break. He has broken my record of the number of stitches on a needle at one time coming in at 72 st, which filled my extra long needles. He still needs a little work, I haven't embroidered on his designation K-9 on his right side and top yet but that will happen soon!
