I'm Working On A Prototype For Rok Tahk As We Speak! As My Second-ever Pattern Design, She's ... Not

I'm working on a prototype for Rok Tahk as we speak! As my second-ever pattern design, she's ... not so much a step up from Murf as, er, several ladders up from Murf. But she's coming along nicely and I think she's going to look great when she's done.

A few people have asked about the patterns, so: my ultimate aim is definitely to share them, probably via Ravelry? But there are a few things about the Murf pattern I'd like to tweak, to make sure he's perfect before I release him into the wild - and at the moment Rok Tahk is occupying a lot of my brain/free time, so it might be a while yet. Stay tuned!

Paramount don't seem to be too interested in making Star Trek: Prodigy merch, so I decided to take matters into my own hands/crochet hook. Six prototypes, a lot of yarn, and even more swearing later, I've designed my very first crochet pattern.

Behold - Murf!

Next up ... Rok Tahk???

Relationships: Number One/Gabriel Lorca

Characters: Original Universe Gabriel Lorca, Number One (Star Trek), Amanda Grayson, Sarek (Star Trek), Harry Mudd, Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, Other Character Tags to Be Added

Additional Tags: Slow Burn, not so much ‘mutual pining’ as ‘mutual terror of accidentally having an emotion’, the grumpy one falls for the … other grumpy one?, there was only one shuttle, vehement denial of feelings, questionable interplanetary diplomacy, questionable science, unhealthy levels of coffee consumption, gratuitous descriptions of telepathy, fixing the injustice of erasing Discovery from history one poorly thought out escapade at a time

Series: Part 2 of Last Resort

Summary:

2271. Gabriel never intended to swap one set of secrets for another, but if there’s one thing he’s learned, it’s that life has a way of surprising you.

Una doesn’t want a partner - especially not on a mission that threatens to bring back bad memories. And yet, somehow, she’s ended up stuck with both.

But with Section 31 closing in and time running out, Gabriel, Una and the Network have to pin their hopes on a risky plan that could finally provide them with the breakthrough they need. Assuming, of course, it doesn’t bring everything crashing down in the process.

Sequel to Lost Cause.

Chapter 11! In which bad deals are bad, stubborn idiots are stubborn, and awkward goodbyes are awkward.

Star Trek Colouring-In Project #2: Janeway

I'm trying to keep myself occupied and (more or less) sane with some Star Trek colouring-in projects. And I thought other Trekkies might enjoy them too, so...

Have a highly-caffeinated Captain Janeway!

Feel free to print/download/share/colour in; if you do, please share the results - I'd love to see them!

Chapter ten! In which Una doesn’t have a plan, Gabriel doesn’t have a shirt, and neither of them have a clue (aka, (Fifty-)Five Times Una and Gabriel Didn’t Kiss)

Katoberfest 2022

Day seven: Where is Katrina Cornwell right now?

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Emperor Georgiou has a business proposal for Kat.

Unfortunately, she also has a lousy sense of timing.

For today's prompt, it's a new fic! Kat's no stranger to a career change. She's already gone from psychiatrist to Admiral, and in tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, a new job offer makes her reconsider the future. And the past. And ... time as a concept, really.
