I wouldn’t describe myself as a gamer, but I do get captivated by the more adorable games and characters. I was obsessed with Viva Pinata for quite a while (and am quite entertained to see it enjoying a small revival among some of my more hard-core FPS gamer friends), and then got into Overlord (I love the idea of having minions I can sweep across the countryside), PixelJunk Monsters, and PixelJunk Eden.
More recently, when I have free time, it’s been Little Big Planet, the best feature of which is that it stars a knitted hero, Sack Boy. The first thing that springs to mind when faced with an adorable knitted character is, of course, I want to knit one!
The first one I came across was knitted by Sylvia, the mother of one of Little Big Planet’s artists. Sadly it had no accompanying pattern.
I was THRILLED when someone sent me the link to this pattern PDF by Simply Knitting. It’s at the top of my queue, and as soon as I finish the projects on my needles, I’m going to get started on him.
The little crochet Amigurumi guys you see below Sack Boy are the knights from Castle Crashers, another game we’ve been playing a lot around here. My friend Randy found them on a Cheap Ass Gamer forum.
