Doctor Who Scarf

I've been wanting to knit Tom Baker's classic scarf ever since I learned there were doctors before Christopher Eccleston, but I wanted to do it right, and I couldn't justify spending that much for yarn. Until recently, when a family friend commissioned one for her husband's anniversary present. The pattern I followed can be found here.

A Fuzzy Shoe

They even ended up the same size as all my other covers. I was feeling pretty good about the project. When I finished knitting them it was kind of late, so I waited to find some Velcro until today. That's when I found the bump in the road. This morning I started looking for Velcro. I knew we had some in the craft closet, I even remembered putting it there. Unfortunately, all we have is the fuzzy part, which is already covering the flip-flop straps. What I needed was the scratchy part. Okay, I admit it I know nothing about Velcro.
