Knitted Mario Sweater Vest
There’s a geeky woman out there who loves her nerd/geek husband so much, she spent a TON of time making and knitting a Super Mario Bros. screenshot into a sweater vest for him. She even hand-dyed the brightest green yarn because she couldn’t find any in that shade. I am impressed. I may also have exclaimed, “Now THAT is geeky!”
Her site has just been updated with a free PDF of the pattern.
I could see myself making an epic knitting pattern like this, and possibly buying some of the yarn. Perhaps I would experiment with hand-dyeing yarn. I would probably stop at that point, though, because it would take me for-freaking-ever, and even if I eked out enough patience to see it through, I very highly doubt that my husband would ever wear something like this. Mostly because of its sweater vest nature.
A full sweater, though? Now that’s another story… and it gives me a headache to think about knitting that much detail right now!
The adorable baby-sized knit Link outfit, though? Maybe someday. It has an arrow quiver designed to hold a baby bottle. I just died from the cuteness.
Bottles are evil. Breast is best!
Even though that’s a pretty sweet sweater, I’d probably feel compelled to punch anyone who wore it.

Liz, that’s essentially the same reaction I had…
Jeanette, I think it would be much harder to knit a quiver for a breast.
And Liz, another ditto from me.
I could never punch anyone who wore this, totally awesome.
