Two more knit daleks

Dalek-in-progress photos after the cut:











The red-and-black one is for firstgold. She picked those colours months ago, and we both thought, "Well, they had red-and-black daleks back in the early 70s, why not. Kooky, but fun." Then I saw some of the promo pics for the end of this current season and started to laugh. We are so good.

In that last photo, I'm making the "YES OKAY I SMILE FOR PICTURE FINE TAKE THE DAMN PICTURE" face. But I include it to give you an idea of the scale of these cute little beasties. This makes 5 I've knitted. I've promised one more to Teagan and then I think I'll take another year break before I do any more.

Ummm....can I put my name in for one too if possible?

I suppose so, but only if you don't mind waiting a year+ for yours.

It's not my design - if you'd like to take a crack at making one the pattern is here (http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/who/extermaknit.html). They're remarkably easy to make and the pattern is quite clear and well-written.
