I think I read somewhere that all the snowboarding kids are crocheting these days, making their own hats and stuff. Now unless crocheting and knitting don't mix--like how racquetball messes up your tennis game--all you crocheters can probably just look at the handknit robots on Jess Hutchinson's site, count up the number of stitches and stuff, and make your own. As for the rest of you, looks like you need to start sucking up to a knitter somewhere.
