The current series of Dr Who comes to an end this weekend to the dismay of Who-lovers across the nation. I stepped into my craft Tardis to hunt down some Dr Who-craft to keep you happy while you wait for him to return.
First up is the very cool K9 Filet crochet pattern from Crafty Tardis. A bit of robot dog for your home.
The good people of Craftster went all out in their Dr Who Swap with coasters, nesting dolls and possibly the coolest bit of craft: a chunk of exploded Tardis.
And Cut Out and Keep don't let us down either with a squidgy Dalek cupcake army and a rather cool Tardis door.
That ought to keep you going till the Tardis and its Gallifreyan owner reappear.
Who would have thought that frog innards could look cute or the periodic table could seem cosy?
Throw away your ideas of cold and clinical science as Discover Magazine take you into a world where knitting and stitching meet biology and zoology with their collection of knitted science.
Items features in their gallery include Emily Stoneking's disturbingly cuddly knitted frog with his organs akimbo, Karen Norberg's knitted brain and the Institute for Figuring's Crochet Coral Reef.
Lab-coated nerds with needles, we applaud you and your scientific stitching.
We're barely into the second week of October, but it's not taken us long to collect together enough inventive and eye-catching spooky projects to bring you the first Halloween gallery of the season.

Hello Kitty may be a small cat with no mouth, but she's packed a lot more into her life than many 35-year-olds, having gone from a pencil case mascot to becoming an international brand and fashion icon, even making it on to the cover of Vogue!
To celebrate her birthday, we've put together some of our favourite Hello Kitty projects from crafters everywhere.

Don't say you weren't warned: Father's Day is coming up this weekend and with it, a chance to prove to Dad just what a talented crafter he's spawned. If you need some inspiration, check out our handmade gift gallery to see what others have dreamed up, clicking on the image below to start.
If you're a regular reader, you probably noticed some time ago that we haven't had comments enabled on the site for some time. Too bad if you've been itching to tell us about your exciting new Etsy shop or exactly how sick you are with owl motifs.
I've tried to get around the problem using various methods, but finally accepted that there's only so much you can say in a poll. So today's good news is we've now got comments back again, so you can bend our ears to your heart's content. And to celebrate this momentous event, here's a collection of crafty goodies made from another of those much-used motifs: the speech bubble!

The mercury's rising, and after the hottest day of the year yesterday, Brits are stripping off and bearing their sun-deprived bodies to all and sundry. Lucky for us, crafters are taking the opportunity to produce summery fare that's far more easy on the eye.
