About a week ago, I posted a few pictures on Twitter of a little project my wife has been working on. My wife knits a little, making scarves and hats from time to time, so I thought I’d put in a little request. I’d seen little knit sackboys from Little Big Planet, so I thought it would be nice to own my own knit Android stuffed robot. My wife went to work, trying to find the perfect pattern for my little DROID and came up with something a few days later. After a few false starts KnitDROID Beta 1 was born. At this point, the wife is still trying to perfect things, but I keep reminding her that it’s a Beta. She’s debating whether she will make a few to sell since the time needed to make KnitDROID would make the little robot a bit pricey. If you would be interested in purchasing a KnitDROID, let us know in the comments or on Twitter. Be sure to let us know how much you would be willing to pay. Any thoughts and suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

That little Andy guy is hard to replicate isn’t it? It took me 3 tries to get the keychain to the point that people liked. I wouldn’t mind setting that up next to my TV though to show it off.
still working out the kinks. The wife has been trying out different sizes so we still have not made two that are the same.
I NEED one of the Knitdroids!!
I’d happily pay £10-£15 for one!
pretty nice handmade toy. Great that legless small droid. Really like it.
Keep me informed, I’m missing a droid in my life….. 🙁
