At About 11 Or So, Finally Can See The Pattern Really Come Alive, Yet Somehow Still On The First Ball

at about 11” or so, finally can see the pattern really come alive, yet somehow still on the first ball of yarn

my absolute favourite thing about the kirk and spock dynamic is that the whole time you’re watching the show spock is gaslighting you into thinking that kirk is this loose canon and spock is paragon of logic keeping his captain on the straight and narrow when its very clearly the other way round. aside from being turned on by everyone and fighting like an old-timey boxer…. kirk is just like.. quite a logical, stable guy. like yeah he rules with his emotions but he’s rarely reckless or erratic, even in situations of immense pressure he’s always calm and measured. sure kirk is unhinged and insane, but we knew that right off the bat. spock on the other hand tries to hide how insanely balls to the walls crazy he is by standing next to jim and hiding all his derangement with logic. i think the reason bones beefs with spock so much because he is the only one who has noticed that spock is an absolutely unhinged individual. (jim is too busy doodling <3 mr jim spock <3 all over his briefings to notice)

What would you even use this on? Who was the target audience? There’s definitely context here that I don’t have yet and I love it so much, it reminds me of @vincentbriggs’ teapot crinoid patterns!

While on holiday I was stitching away on my blue hexies. The more I stitch the more I seem to need but I am still making progress. Tonight I spent the evening sorting out what I have and what I still need. I still have to stitch together all the hexies in the big plastic zippy bag into rows. Once I have the rows made I have to stitch the rows together. Once that is done I stitch the units to the star. It’s not going to be easy and it will take time. That’s why I love these big projects. Another wee thought just popped into my head. How am I going to quilt it?
