it's 2012!!!

I had written a blog post but when I tried to publish it, it deleted everything! It's extremely discouraging to finally get the energy up to write something down and then have it deleted :(

Anywho!!

My absence in no way indicates a lack of craftiness happening in my life :P I have been crafting but unfortunately I have not been documenting it. But we shall get back on the horse!

A couple of months ago, I received a text from a friend:

"Song! Make me one!"

Which of course I couldn't say no, especially since I own the book :P The cute robot amigurumi is from  Crobots by Nelly Pailloux. 

Here is just the head

This is pre-assembly. As you can see the arms are missing. I saved it for last because I was not a fan of the muscle arms the original pattern called for but I wasn't sure what I could do to remedy that.

The finished product! Ultimately I went with a simple tube arm. The actual size of the crobot is small: the size of my hands. It took about 4 hours from start to finish and its definitely a project you can complete in a day. 

I must admit that there were certain parts of the pattern that was confusing. It felt like certain steps were missing and I had to make guesses. I'm not sure if that's my inexperience reading patterns or a flaw in the pattern writing. Nonetheless, the 20 different robot designs are original and extremely creative and worth picking up!
