Well I still haven't learnt how to use a scientific calculator but I have finished my knitted Dalek. His guns are still a bit floppy but that will have to wait until my son is back from uni so I can pinch some of his wire to stiffen them.0

Mine is for my 18 year old daughter. It wasn't too difficult to knit but I did have to buy a 30cm circular needle and a set of short double ended needles to knit the narrower bits. I also had to learn how to knit bobbles.
