Mar. 3rd, 2012 08:46 amIn which I am a giant dorkmuffin:
So, on the last couple hexagons on my quilt, I've been doing some duplicate stitching. So far, I have a terrible crow, a fox, the moon, the sun, a couple of flowers, and an ampersand. These are all from other people's charts that I found on ravelry - I have a few more charts that I've saved that I want to stitch.
But I have no geeky hexes as yet, which is obviously a problem. So last night, I found a TARDIS chart and watched some Doctor Who and stitched it. But see, that is clearly not sufficient, because if I have the TARDIS, I should probably have a dalek. Apparently, no one on ravelry has yet charted a dalek, so I had to do it. I haven't stitched it yet, but I think the chart looks pretty good. (There is a part of me that wants to try making a cybermat because I love them, but I don't think I could adequately chart that so that it would be recognizable.)
So this is a good start, but somewhat monofannish. No one has apparently made any Star Trek charts as yet either, so I stayed up way too late trying to chart the Starfleet emblem combadge thingie. And then the Peacekeeper symbol thingie from Farscape (which was surprisingly difficult). And now I have realized that I have no monster-based charts and that Frankenstein and Dracula at least should be represented.
Fortunately, I had no big plans for this weekend.
