Crochet a Dalek!

It's scary. It shoots laser beams at the Doctor in Doctor Who. It screams "Exterminate!" through a sythesizer. It's a Dalek, and it's been crocheted out of yarn. Over on LiveJournal (source of all things fannish), shigella has posted several fatally cute images of the Dalek she crocheted out of brown yarn. "Can you feel the cuddly evil?" she asks appropros of the picture at right.

If you want to make your own, there's hope. shigella posts:

This is my own prototype, freeformed in Red Heart gray and black, witha button stitched to one appendage as his 'plunger' manipulator arm. I
hope to make another one with improvements and write down the pattern.

I definitely think the pattern to make a crochet Dalek should be public domain, don't you?

Just in case you didn't know already, the new season of Doctor Who starts in just a few days. Time to start cranking up the old BitTorrent-mobile -- get ready to download! Thanks, Peter!
