Help! My robot needs a name!

Several weeks ago, I showed you a work in progress that involved lots of rainbow squares. Well now I can finally reveal that those squares are going to become part of a robot themed blanket. The blanket is not ready for its big reveal yet, but I am ready to show you one robot square.


While the pattern for the whole blanket is a long way off, I will be releasing the pattern for this square in the next couple of weeks, along with an intarsia tutorial, which will be used for my first KAL (I'll tell you about that soon). But that means that this robot needs a name; any suggestions? Comment below. If I choose your suggestion, you'll get a code for one free pattern from my Ravelry store, so remember to leave me a way to contact you.

    1. Thank you! I've enjoyed knitting him (and his four friends, just one more to go!).

    3. Ooh, I love it, but I think someone rather more famous has already claimed the name http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Bertie_Bott :-(

  3. I thought up KnitBot. I then asked my family - the boys are notoriously bad at choosing names for things! My eldest, 6, said Happy, because he is. My youngest suggested Jinny Marcus, and I have no idea why, but he was insistent. Husband suggested Ralph!

    1. I love KnitBot - I'll have a think, but I might nab that for the completed blanket (if I do I'll let you know). And I love the names your family have come up with, especially Jinny Marcus!
