Knitting nerds of the world! Grab your needles and UNITE!

I am a nerd. I am also a nerd who knits. I have recently found a ton a patterns perfect for the knitting nerd in us all. Nerdy movies? Check. Nerdy television shows? Check. Nerdy games? Check!

The photo to the left there may not look like much, but it is the beginning of a Tom Baker Dr. Who scarf. Neat, huh?!

Suited for the beginner and advanced knitter alike, I have compiled lists of patterns for nerdy knitters who craft the beat of a more nerdy drummer. Please peruse what I have here and get knitting!

Nerdy Television Knitting Patterns

There are a ton of nerdy shows out there, and fans love to duplicate projects they see on their shows. Maybe the project is also inspired by the show itself. Anyway, here are a lot of great projects out there dealing with television.
The Doctor Who Scarf
A scarf with its own web site. Knit up one of these long scarves and bring out your inner Time Lord.
KNITTY FOR DR WHO - pattern for tardis dishcloth
That thing Dr. Who gets around in...the TARDIS? Yeah, you can put that on a dishcloth.
Jayne Cobb Hat
Jayne Cobb was a character on the short-lived FOX show, Firefly. Jayne's mom knit him a hat, and now you can knit yourself one.
Nibbler, Guardian of the Bum Fodder pattern by Elizabeth Jarvis
You must belong to Ravelry to get this pattern, but Futurama is a great show, and Nibbler is a great character. Knit him up!
