Chris asked if Wilbur was going to learn to knit.

But of course!

Here, you can see that he is progressing nicely on the traditional "first project" - a garter stitch scarf. (One of the benefits of having multiple legs? You can hold the needles with one set and "throw" the yarn with another set. I suspect Fair Isle would be a lot easier for someone like Wilbur than for us two-arms.)

I also finished Ginger:

Note that you can tell she's a "Girl Robot" (hee...remember that commercial) because she has eyelashes. (When I was a young child, I once told my mother that a frog I had drawn was a girl frog, and you could tell because she had long eyelashes.)

Like Fred, she has vintage buttons to decorate her. Her "panel" is the opposite side of Fred's so they sort of "match"

Fred and Ginger, happy together.

(If robots can be happy.)

Fred and Ginger look like they're about to audition and are quite sincere about it: "You see, Mr. Producer, we believe it's time for another era of great musicals. We're the dance team for the new millenium."
