Time Lord Wanted, TARDIS Mandatory

When I saw this diagram,

I finally knew what I needed — a Time Lord!! 

Let me restate that. I need to BE a Time Lord.

Why you might ask? Well, for any number of reasons.

First, I would go back in time to the beginning of 2014 and write that brilliant blog post I never got around to. Since I wouldn't be changing anyone's timeline, I suppose this would be ok. I truly can't image my blog posts affecting the course of the world or changing history.

But wait! From a knitter's perspective, that's not all...

The TARDIS — imagine what kind of yarn a knitter could hide in a TARDIS. While the space, where I currently house my stash, is finite and eventually the yarn will go pouring out the window, a TARDIS would solve that problem! Bigger on the inside? Yes please. And so deceptive! No one will ever know the extent of that stash. (Well, they wouldn't if I didn't compulsively list it on Ravelry to keep track of it.) I mean, really how much yarn can one police box hold?

I assume knitting is supported by the Gallifreyans since the fourth Doctor had a 16 foot scarf that many a knitter has duplicated. (Although frankly, that's a lot of garter stitch. Too much, if you ask me. When my son asked for a Dr. Who scarf, I taught him to knit and bought him the yarn.)

Then there's the Sonic Screwdriver that seems to be the all-purpose fix-it tool. Just think of the knitting errors (I mean, unintentional design elements) you could fix without the cursing, frustration, and gnashing of teeth. Perhaps it would even translate poorly written patterns into English (or German, or whatever language makes it understandable.)

Companions? I don't know that, as a Time Lord, I'd have just one companion. Knitting, while it can be a solitary endeavor, is best done with friends. Lots of them. If you're going to travel through time, you might as well have companions that make you laugh and understand your knitting obsession. Not to mention, the TARDIS would be able to hold everyone's stash!! And spinning wheels and looms and ... well, it boggles the mind.

And finally there's that two heart thing. While I can't come up with a specific reason why two hearts would be valuable in knitting, I do think the world would be a better place if we all had two hearts.

So to recap: Time Lord, TARDIS, companions, sonic screwdriver... 

All I can say is allons-y
