A few good things have come out of this virus mess, especially for Doctor Who fans. There have been watch-alongs of favorite episodes. These have included Tweets from past cast members and new mini episodes written by past show runners. I loved the one by Steven Moffat that featured Strax. The most recent, by Russell T. Davies, really got to me. The actress who played my favorite companion, Elisabeth Sladen, passed away nine years ago. This left a big gap in her character’s story. The mini episode described Sarah Jane Smith’s memorial service. We found out what happened to a number of characters who were suddenly left in limbo when The Sarah Jane Adventures ended.
Among the original Doctor Who characters to appear was my second favorite companion, Ace. No longer a teenager with a backpack full of Nitro-9, she has reverted to her real name, Dorothy. We discover that Dorothy now is the keeper of the little tin dog, K-9. It is silly to admit, but this made me happy.
What the h*ck does all of this have to do with yarn? I saw the episode over the weekend. Today (Monday) my Doctor Who club yarn came from The Dyeing Arts. Colorway is K-9.
