If Mr. Roboto could rearrange the alphabet, he would put 01010101 and 01001001 together
That Mr. Roboto, he’s such a cornball.
Mr. Roboto is daydreaming about you.
Pattern: Robot (rav link) from Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy, Mochimochiland Heart
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted and scraps of Louet Gems for Mr. Roboto, Wool/Sarisilk blend scraps for the heart
This is another of those thrown-in-a-drawer, procrastinate-on-the-finishing projects. I had originally knit Mr. Roboto as a graduation gift for Rob (whose degree is in robotics). He graduated about a year and a half ago. Poor neglected Mr. Roboto!
Stalker or nature lover?
The pattern instructs you to knit both sides of the robot flat, then seam him together. I had the bright idea of knitting him in the round and kitchenering his vertical seams together. I’m not sure that this saved me much work, and I think it produced more ends to weave in. Also, I knit him flat along the length of the intarsia panel, so I had to seam that side anyway.
Then I embroidered the most hideous face on the poor robot, prompting the delay in finishing. I finally bought a boatload of safety eyes, ripped my embroidery, and started over. I tried to embroider the heart to have the same expression as Mr. Roboto, but the heart just looks kind of sad - Rob even pointed it out. Awww!
Mr. Roboto loves B3 (who is lounging on the chair), but B3 doesn’t love him back.
Overall, Rob was very happy with his V-day gift, and Mr. Roboto is happy to be out of that drawer. Now, if Mr. Roboto could just find a little love…
