        Heh, I would be lucky to get one out of her to be honest. I've been asking her for a scarf or a hat for a few months now, I'll be lucky if I get one for Christmas.

        She did express a little interest though - providing she could find the pattern.

    I make no apologies for saying that Sackboy is one of my favourite creations in the video game industry. He represents diversity, entertainment and positivity.

    To be honest it kind of makes you want to take up Knitting though! Making Sackboy = Instant awesome.
