Any knitters out there in DS Fanboy land? We've seen a few in the comments from time to time, so we've got something for you: patterns for mushroom toys! Now you can make your own mushrooms for extra lives or embiggening (that look a little like stuffed socks), and hug them and squeeze them for hours on end. We do not, however, recommend that you
eat them.
This blogger, sadly, cannot knit, and not for lack of trying. After a single row, it all becomes very alien. Maybe it's time for Knitting Training or something ....

I love DS fanboy, but is news scarce recently or something? What's with all the articles about nintendo plushies, and do it yourself stitching instructions?

Yeah, what is with us not writing about Ninja Gaiden and new Atlus games and the lack of Alone in the Dark and showing up with Mazes of Fates videos and Atari and Success games and homebrew and... oh, wait. We did all that, just today, and then I made a really long sentence out of it.
Protip: scroll down. ;)

Dude, speak for yourself. I'm a knitter and I absolutely love all the stuff they feature on DS Fanboy about crafting.
It's DS news because it's Nintendo or DS-specifically related.
What is so wrong with that?

I pretty much only come here for the arts and crafts stuff these days.

And that's great that you covered all that.
But...
Protip: leave the crafts to the crafts blogs.

Orrrr... you can skip those posts that don't interest you! I'm really sorry to break it down this way, but it's not all about you. It's about everyone.

I'm throwing a red koopa shell at all the nay-sayers who don't like the posts about Nintendo-related crafts. I think they're awesome! (I'm a gamer *and* I knit. And quilt, and crochet, and bead, and on and on ...)

That's the great thing about blogs. You can cover all sorts of news (including geeky knitting patterns) and not only serious stuff like the launch of new games. And I love it!
By the way, I discovered this pattern a couple of days ago on Ravelry (a knitting community) and I'm definitely knitting these as a gift for a friend of mine :)

Exactly. Which means we can cater to all sorts of DS owners and gamers... which is convenient, since we're comprised of all sorts of DS owners and gamers. We, the writers, have a variety of interests, so of course, the site is going to reflect that.
