Crocheting Exploits

So, I am teaching myself how to crochet. Judge all you will but it simply so I can make this:

Tenth Doctor Doll

I taught myself to crochet in about 2 hours and now, after completing the arms and torso to Snuffykin's specifications, I have made an important decision...to make him bigger. Right now he's gonna come out to like 9 inches...with my plans he'll measure more like 18 or something. More to come...I promise.
