WIP: Crocheted Robot Family

They're not finished yet, but I'm getting there. I'm pretty excited about how they look actually, I can really see I'm getting better. I had some help with working out how to make the cubes come out right, but they're looking pretty good I reckon.

We have arms!

I finished the doll I started at my first Knitting Nite this week. And yes, as you can see - we finally have some arms (now can you see why I haven't been putting them on - I'm not very good at them!). We also have some eyes. I think we're calling this one Purple Party Boy, or Party G I M P. I think he looks a bit like one of the Sand People from Star wars.

More attempts at doll making

Still without a pattern, I'm trying to make dolls.. They're fun actually as you get to just make it up as you go along, change colours here, make it longer there, fatter here. Crocheting seems to be rather forgiving and also I'm loving the free form of it, I don't seem to be able to do that with knitting. Here are three more attempts at "dolls"... they're still not perfect..

I know this one doesn't have any arms - but that's OK..


Oh, this one doesn't have any arms either - we're calling him, "Mr Robust in a stripey sweater".


Fuzzy Baby doll - this one is really just an alien blob. not really a doll.

First Attempt at crocheting a doll

My first attempts at crocheting in rounds turned out a little hyperbolic, then they got a little more formed. I eventually got the knack and thought I'd make a creature/doll. This one is a bit freaky looking, but not bad for a first attempt.
