Knitted Robot

All right, I'll admit it, I'm a knitting junky. Yes, junky. It controls various aspects of my life. I miss it when I don't have it and people may view it as a problem. I have not yet digressed to fancy toilet paper cozies or barbie doll outfits but at times I am close. With my bizarre idea's and fabulous sense of style it becomes blatantly obvious that I am cruising towards my own demise in the knitting world.

Case and point.
I was recently conjuring up a knitting project in my head based on an awesome robe that I saw at an upscale store in Montclair NJ last year called Scandia Down. I mean, a robe made like a sweater. (I'm not being all french here saying it's a dress people....a robe, like a bath robe) Awesome right? I know. I was thinking the exact same thing. It takes the "snuggie" to a whole new level.

Any who, the price tag was very good for the area sitting at $300.00 but a little bit rich for my taste so I began planning my own. I could pop this baby onto a knitting machine and have it made in a day....ooooooooor, I could HAND knit it. (evil laugh here Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha). Now do you see the problem? I just schemed some wonderful scheme to KNIT and got excited enough about it to add an evil laugh.

Alright, back on task. So, there I am googling a pattern for a knitted robe and I am noticing the drop down menu as I type. Does it automatically go to knitted robe....no. Did you know that a knitted ROBOT is a more common search than robe? Seriously people. Who makes a knitted robot?

Then, I looked up a pattern for a knitted Robot out of curiosity and if you can't guess where this is going then let me just say, I have a whole box of yarn scraps with R O B O T written all over them. Kind of cute though, aren't they?

..........and that was my way of stealing the last minute or two of your precious time with a little story about knitting. Thank you, thank you very much.
