Well, I have been requested to make another Death Star. Dh thought it was so neat that he wants to send one to a friend of his for Christmas. I'm glad that I figured out how to make that thing. It's such a fast project, even for me. The only thing is that I'll have to look at pictures of the last one to figure out where to put the eye. I think I will also attach to the last stitch of each round to the first one instead of making continuous rounds in a spiral. That way when I go to do the back stitching for the middle line, I won't have one slanted line making a jump from one end of the line to the other. It's okay if you keep that part to the wall, but I'm just not happy with it. I started to attempt the hot sauce bottle cover of Darth Vader, but with it being in black, I put it down after I got the head/helmet done because I was working at night and having trouble seeing it. I need to get one of those daylight lamps. I've put it on my gift list.
The Star Wars afghan inches ever so slowly toward completion. I've already told my other ds that it's going to be at least a year before I start on another one. I hope to have this one done in time to wrap it up and put it under the tree. I just can't seem to sit down and crochet for long lengths of time like I did last year. I'm going to start making time though. I had a whole list of stuff I wanted to make and it just didn't make it. I cut that list down to just a couple of things that I felt like I absolutely had to make this year. I swear that I'm going to start in February in order to get next year's presents done.
