Slogging Through The UFOs.

One thing I'm really terrible at is finishing projects. Well, that's not entirely true. If I have an actual deadline (i.e., baby shower) or if someone is paying me, it's far easier to finish things. But if it's just stuff I'm doing for myself... eh. So projects drag on for years sometimes. Thus, even though I bought a shitton of yarn on sale (and got a bunch more plus an A.C. Moore gift card for my birthday last month), I have declared a moratorium on starting new projects until I've managed to finish the ones cluttering up my closet. My one and only closet, which also contains my clothes, winter blankets, old stuffed animals, and financial documents. Yeah.

This is the first project I've finished since the moratorium, an afghan crochet "fabric" with cross-stitched James T. Kirk! I got the cross-stitch pattern from black lupin at deviant art (look for the link to her second group of stitchies, too). The result (which still needs to be blocked into squareness and not-curly-ness):

I'd like to do Spock and Khan, my sister wants a Gorn, and I've got a potential customized commission (which I can't discuss because it would be a gift for a mutual friend). But: moratorium. So next, I'm going to finish the empire top that I started forever ago. I finished lining the second strap yesterday, which was the hardest part, and now just need to finish the skirt lining. Pics (and pattern!) to come hopefully sometime this summer!
