Romana scarf
Originally uploaded by ursulageorges

This scarf is for rivendellrose, as part of the art meme. It is based on a scarf that Romana wears in a classic Dr. Who episode. (According to IMDB, Lalla Ward, who played this incarnation of Romana, has written knitting books and married Richard Dawkins of angry-biologist fame after they were the only two people to show up on time for one of Douglas Adams' parties.)

[ursula]

Yay!

Wow, yet another layer of geek cred-coolness. :)

I totally want your Romana scarf. One of my friends (not surprisingly, the_doctor) has a full lenth copy of the doctor's huge multi-colored scarf. Too cool.

Awwww.

For the record, it took 4 skeins of Cascade 220.

There's something infinitely cool about the subdued color scheme of your photo - the white room, white scarf, white floor, grey shirt... and the scarf frames you as the mirror does. :)

Thanks! Now I feel much less silly about having removed the blue towel ;)

I agree that the photograph makes the beautiful scarf even more striking!

If only the rest of my bathroom were as handsome . . . :)

Oh, wow. That is lovely! Thank you so much - I can't wait to see it!!! ♥

[ursula]

I'm glad you like it! Though I must say this post made me hopeful ;)

have you seen/heard of this? I was reading it (don't ask) and for some reason it reminded me of you. It has a certain quaintness that I think you'll find amusing.

also, i've dug out my sleevey mittens for winter. yay.

I haven't seen this one. I do have a reprint of an eighteenth-century cookbook which has some similar recipes. I keep meaning to try some of the cakes.

Young ladies should be taught that usefulness is happiness, and that all other things are but incidental. With regard to matrimonial speculations, they should be taught nothing!

Yay mittens!

so...much...knitting.... I'm pretty sure I would have died 3 inches into the scarf :)

Thanks!
