To Boldly Go Where No Cross Stitcher Has Gone Before (Possibly)

Time to embark on another big-ass project, this time a cross-stitch of the new Enterprise. Lessons have been learnt from the epicness that was my Peter Petrelli cross stitch - no pinks and no beiges, the pattern has been printed on a ginormous scale, and I have put in a ludicrous amount of guide stitches. And I am stitching on black aida instead of even thinking about stitching in the entirety of space. So I should stay saner this time around. Should. Hopefully this one won't take six months.

Pics of the computer-generated simulation of the completed project and day one of stitching (technically day 3 of the project overall as it took me two days to sort the pattern and the guide stitches) below the cut.
