The Spine

The Spine from Steam Powered Giraffe

Yes he IS slightly out of date now as there have been a few costume updates, but he WAS made a while ago, and only just getting him posted on here.

They've just released a new album, go check them out on the link above :D

C3P0

Yeah it's been a wee while since any Star Wars dudes... so here's C3P0. Sorry for the bright flash but that is all my camera would take clear in the lighting (darned scattish rainy weather)

Amazing what returns to mind when you get a colour you've been looking for for a while ... many thanks to Sheila from Deramores CS department :D

"cosmic bear"

Nelly Pailloux's book Crobots again. This time Cosmic Bear.

Original pattern had him in deep blue, but I only had light blue or really dark navy, so I decided on purple.

little thinker

As promised, here's a robot dude i did a while back but didn't get round to putting him up.

Beads and sequins help with the shiny robotic effect

Baby Crobot 2

Yes he is exactly the same as the 1st crobot, just in opposite colourway. He had to be done as my older kiddo wanted one like his little brothers "can i have a red one mummy?"

Dogbot

Another addition to the crobot collection...please meet Dogbot

Baby Crobot

This pattern came free with the October 2010 issue of Let's Knit magazine, but also comes from the book Crobots by Nelly Pailloux. He's a little bit fiddly using only a 2.5mm hook but the finished result is so worth it. My 2yr old has slept with him on his pillow every night since I made him and we had a little panic at 8pm cos he disappeared (he fell down the back of the bed, but brave Mummy resued him).

 I enjoyed him enough to buy the full book and I'm looking forward to making my robot loving 2 year old a few more similar things for his Christmas Stocking substituting embroidery for some of the springs and beads in the patterns. Made exactly to the patterns most of them are not suitable for kids, but perfectly suitable for the geeky friend you have.
