There are so many ways to dive into the Doctor Who fandom. The show has decades of episodes and various points that are easy for new fans to hop into. There are a slew of Big Finish Audio dramas that either expand stories that we wished we saw onscreen or introduce new elements of the Whoniverse altogether. Do you like comics and games? There are plenty of Doctor Who ones to enjoy. But if you’re into hands-on projects and love to celebrate your Who devotion, then Crochet AmiguWHOmi: Adventures in Time and Space by Liz Ward is perfect for you.
This book is full of crochet projects to craft iconic characters and objects from the franchise’s various eras. It’s the perfect way to vibe out, flex your creative muscles, and create something that’s worthy of display in your abode. We have exclusive excerpts from Crochet AmiguWHOmi to highlight two beloved figures from Doctor Who: the TARDIS and companion Rose Tyler.
As we all know, the TARDIS is one of the most famous spaceships in pop culture history. It has been a mainstay in Doctor Who since the show’s first episode premiered in 1963. While it has gone through some regenerations of its own in the inside, the police box exterior looks mostly the same, thanks to that broken chameleon circuit. Crochet AmiguWHOmi gives you a nice breakdown of the TARDIS’ history and shows you how to make your own crochet version step-by-step. Here’s a peek at some of those steps as well as the finished product:
When it comes to modern era companions, Rose Tyler ranks high among the fandom’s faves for good reason. For many of us, she was the first companion that they ever met over twenty years ago. From a teenager who was bored with her life working in a shop to a time-traveling girl boss who ran straight towards dangerous otherworldly forces, Rose had an incredibly powerful arc that resonated with many younger Who fans.
While she has so many classic looks, many of which are hard for cosplayers to find, Crochet AmiguWHOmi chose her Union Jack shirt look from “The Empty Child” and “The Doctor Dances” for this crochet project.
In addition to these projects, you can craft the Fourth Doctor’s iconic colorful scarf, a wee Cyberman or Dalek, and even a time vortex blanket. Crochet AmiguWHOmi will go on sale June 9, so get ready to spend your summer streaming Doctor Who and making cool creations. You can grab your copy right here.
