Cross-Stitching Photos and other science fiction crafts

From my Twitter updates

For those who want a realistic cross stitch of a photo, there is a program sold at http://www.pcstitch.com/
enter any photo and it is converted into a cross stitch grid.

    On eBay some vendors have made photo cross-stitch charts of David Tennant and a Dalek.  Characters from other series are also available, like Star Wars' Boba Fett, Jedi and Sith.  For knitters, there is the free Dalek pattern called EXTERMIKNIT! and the sites Crafty TARDIS and Geek Crafts also have various projects on display.  These sites show that anything in time and space can be depicted with a variety of crafting methods.
