Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Ryan Davis on Dec. 10, 2008
Sackboy is the heart and soul of LittleBigPlanet, an adorable little avatar that informs the rest of the game's unmistakably tactile, arts-and-crafts-inspired aesthetic. Considering how much of the game looks like it was assembled with construction paper, toilet-paper tubes, and whatever's in the junk drawer in your kitchen, it's not too surprising that the latest issue of Simply Knitting Magazine features instructions on how you can assemble your own custom Sackboy. According to CVG, the Sackboy pattern was created by Alan Dart, a man who Simply Knitting inaccurately and hilariously refers to as “The Grand Theft Auto of knitting.” Seriously, what the hell does that even mean?
I'm usually baffled by DIY video-game handicrafts like knitted caps and tasty cakes, but this is one that makes sense beyond the basic novelty. Hopefully Sony won't hit Simply Knitting with a cease-and-desist over the copyright infringement.

The grant theft auto of knitting.
The only explanation I can think of is that they looked up a highly rated game, found out it was popular/good and compared it to a good knitter. They both like video gamez? So it works?
My guess is at good...or bad for that matter and yours.

I wish this was being printed in a US magazine, Simply Knitting is a UK mag, but I think I have seen it at Borders before...and it's going to cost me an arm and a damn leg. However, I knit quite a bit and will be all over this as soon as I am done with presents! :)
God dammit for the last time it's Sackperson. SACKPERSON!
At least that's what the English fellow tells me...

I need a copy-- the from-scratch version I'm working on is going pretty so-so. :/
"The Grand Theft Auto of Knitting?" That sounds "...almost too plausible."
I have a friend who does papercraft/clothcraft, I will get him to make me one of these!
Granny Craft Auto.
Knitting, Driving missions that are limited to 15 mph, baking, and babysitting... who says games are only for kids now.
GTA of knitting. you mean he goes around killing people who don't pay him for his work or something.
The only problem is there are official toys. Just go to Play Asia or NCS. Sony can't go after them since it's just a pattern, not a finished product.
