One of the most popular ones, is Little Big Planet. I've never played the game, however, from the moment I saw the poster of the knitted Sack Boy, I was in love. He's quite possibly the cutest thing ever, and it's combining 2 uber nerdy things, like video games and knitting. There have been quite a few Sack Boy patterns floating around online, and after a request for one, I was so excited to get started. The request is for a custom one, so I had to make the original for myself. :)
That's the original sack boy if any of you have been living under a nerdy rock, and haven't seen him before. :)
And, here's mine! Sorry about the poor lighting, I took the pictures directly in the sunlight. I'm so glad I get to keep him too!
I used 2 different patterns for him. I made the arms from a separate pattern.
Also, for all of you other nerds out there, you should check out this game! I'm thinking about getting a Wii just for this game! lol. It's called Kirby's Epic Yarn!

And this morning, I made this! I used this pattern and he was SUPER easy to make, and he's so cute!!
So, I hope you all do at least 1 nerdy thing today! I plan on crocheting. :)

Oh yes, crocheting is nerdy... At this town, where i life, crochet is nerdy. All people here think, crochet is only for grandmas. They do think wrong. Crochet is cool. ;o)
And for you - i crochet at the same time, we (my husband and i) watching bad horror movies. ;o) Wow, i´m a Nerd, too. =)
Both of your Sackboys are absolut cute. Very good job.
Have a beautiful nerdy day.
Many smiles and lovely greets,
Annika
I"m glad I'm not the only one! haha. I've learned that in the end, it's so much fun to be a nerd, and I think it truly brings out the kid in you. :)
Everyone should be a little child, than the life is funny and not so strong.
Come let us nerdy. ;o)
I heart nerds and I myself am a huge nerd/geek/freak. haha. And I love nerds like you that are also huge nerds/geeks/freaks and that will partake in crafting these things. I love the tiny one so much!
OMG i have no idea about video games but i love this sack boy!! hes so cute!
i like to crochet while my BF plays his video games, I watch and tell him what he missed or where i think he should go even though half the time I had no clue what's going on, haha! I crochet at lunch alot and it shocks alot of people, like Seelenfein said, they all think its something old ladies do! psssh!
I LOVE that there's other nerds out there like myself.
Crocheting has always been an old lady thing, so it's funny to see so many younger people crocheting. And I really don't enjoy making stuff like scarves and afghans at all. As long as there's a fun shape to it, I'll crochet any ami that I can!
And I must admit, I do love crocheting video game ami's as well. Sack boy was so much fun! I've done a lot of Mario related things, and today I even found some fun Zelda related ami's! I think I might have to make some of those next. :)

However, I did use a different pattern for the arms. The arms are from this pattern:

The small sack boy was REALLY easy to make, and he's right here!

The only thing I changed on that pattern is instead of using felt for the zipper, I just used a regular zipper and glued it on. :)
Enjoy!
I can't wait until you and Seth have a kid. Then you guys can enroll in a sociological study of the nature and nuture of nerdiness.
I've never heard of Sack Boy/Little Big Planet (I think it's a PS specific thing), but I am very excited about Kirby's Epic Yarn. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it and turn into a rainbow unicorn who survives on marshmallows and rays of happy sunshine.
http://moonscreations.blogspot.com/2009/03/sack-boy-amigurumi-pattern.html doesn't exist now. Can you share with me the pattern please?
I'm sorry, I didn't write down the pattern when I made it, I made the Sackboy directly from the website. I would suggest that you contact the owner of that blog and see if she can give you the pattern.
