Robot used 121 yards or 71g of yard and took 6,556 stitches to do. ;-)

Jan 19 - 20 CO 19sts with the black, worked 12 rows, co 3sts, worked row 13 across then cast on 25sts in black changed to blue and joined in the round working 15 rows, inc 1st mid back every 3 rows until 50sts (1,023 sts, 3y black, 15y blue). 14 rows inc the chart (700 sts, 10y blue), used the Intarsia in the round video and it worked.

Picked up the 5 live stitches on each needle plus an extra stitch at each end of the needle, k2tog at each side to leave 12 stitches then worked 16 stripes instead of 18 before doing the hand, stuffing it and grafting it (719 sts, 27 yards of blue).
