After giving DS2 his Captain Underpants toy on Friday, DS1 started asking where his toy was. Apparently a hat is not the same as a toy. Even a Manchester United hat. Now the problem is that DS1 wants a Sackboy, for which I do have a pattern. But it’s this one (Ravelry link), an Alan Dart pattern knitted in about a million sodding pieces and with about ten years’ worth of seaming to be done.

It might not be too bad: I’m hoping I can convert parts to be knitted in the round to avoid as much seaming as I can. In the meantime, I have yarn in a DS1-approved colour:

Sirdar Click Chunky

and clearly I now know my place. :-P

    You can’t just remind him that HE got a hat?????

    I knitted a sack boy for a friend. The worst part wasn’t that it was knit in little bits, but sewing them all together! It was worth it though, she LOVED it! :-)
