1800+ stitches and about 12 hours of work later…

When I saw a promo for the first issue of CRAFT containing the pattern for the “cro-bot” I was determined to make my own due to its sheer awesomeness. I finally got my hands on the patten recently and away I went. I started a few weeks ago and would’ve liked to have gotten it finished earlier but I had work and fun hanging outs to attend to. Just as well, have done the bulk of it in the span of a day resulted in quite bad shoulder and wrist pains.

Anywho, Mox the 15cm (6 inches) tall robot is now complete, with his own set of black headphones (my mother insists they look more liked hair buns), a tiny felt heart and a scarf though arguably, robots don’t need to listen to music, have hearts nor get cold. Once again, my complete lack of photography skills coupled with my shitty camera meant that the colours came out badly and blurry. Bah. For example, the stripe around the head is supposed to be silver rather than grey but it turned out annoyingly darker than expected. Overall, I’m actually very happy with it and now Mox stands in his own corner on my messy desk.

Also, halfway through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
