Notes

Size K Denise hook for Tunisian, size I Susan Bates hook for borders.

Dec 7
Because I’m short on time before Christmas, I may just do 9 robots.

Thought I would do this in TKS, but didn’t like the zig-effect I was getting at row color changes, so I’ll do TSS. It looks cleaner & nicer than sc IMO. The aspect ratio is different though, they will be taller & skinnier.

Not doing border as written. I’m doing a round of DC in black, then a round of the robot color in SC, then another black DC round. Then I plan to do a border around the whole thing using all the colors, separated by black.

Dec 8
Almost done with robot 2, just a bit to do on last round of border.

Dec 11
5 robots done, 4 with border. All need ends woven/embroider tho.

Dec 16
I have the flu :(
Finished 9th robot! Time to weave in ends & do embroidery.

Dec 17
Only good thing about having the flu? Being able to sit home all day to do the end-weaving & embroidery. Got all that done, & started sewing together.

Dec 18
Finished seaming & started border of my own design - one row of black DC, then alternating rows of color & black SC. Gonna take forever but sickly me has the time.

Dec 19
Done! If I had not had the flu & been able to work on this all day all week, I doubt I would have finished in time. Hope little Jake likes it :)
