This was linked-to in a comment in the previous post, but in case babies don't interest you - and because it's so bloody AWESOME - here he is in his full glory: a hand-knitted Sackboy, from Little Big Planet.
One of the game's designer's mum knitted him. This is a one-and-only, pitifully.
Here he is in his dragon outfit, too. Wah!
Wish that game would hurry up.
I really ought to actually answer some emails now in this rare 5 mins of peace. Testament to the cuteness of these characters that I posted this before actually getting to important things ;-)
(Thanks for pointing this out, Friendly Fiend!)
Oh my god, cuteness overload. Want!

(She was sleeping, blissfully, so I took advantage...)
I can't imagine LBP won't do a full line of plushies. Those characters are a goldmine.

I don't think there is a pattern for him! One of the artist's mothers made that little guy. Clever lady!

Wow, your sackboy looks great!
Very cute!

I have tried and tired and tried to knit this, I have got the head, body, legs, even the arms... But every time I come to the fingers, the whole things goes horribly wrong.
I can do the thumbs, no problem, it is with the next load of strange instructions that I lose it completely....
Such a shame, my half-created Sack boy with have to live his life at the bottom of a knitting bag.

My dad recently tired to find me a sack boy stuffed animal for Christmas, but when he couldn't find me one, he got an old sweater and made one himself! I love it because it is Little Big Planet and because he made it himself... It is the only one like it!
