Okay enough talking time to show some pretty pictures.
To start with here is something I made a few years ago.
Yes that's right it's a crochet Dalek. Not a new idea amdowns posted a pattern a few years ago. However I wasn't happy with the details so I made my own. This guy is around 30cm tall and made with 8 ply yarn and a 3mm crochet hook. It was my second attempt. I have since made several others in different colour ways.
Most recently I made this one for my brother last Christmas.
