One of my college roommates spent many an hour playing Nintendo Duck Hunt and avoiding her school work (I was worried at first but she had this unnatural ability to ace classes despite her addiction and ended up becoming a brilliant Archaeologist). Needless to say, I was taken on a nostalgic trip down memory lane when I learned Craftster member Quacker Jacks has created a lovely and amazing piece of geek art inspired by the game. Apparently, Quacker Jacks decided to combine her childhood obsession with Duck Hunt with her new obsession of knitting and after about a month of on and off knitting, this gem was born.
If you love this as much as my friend Marissa does, I suggest you follow the pattern and make your own. What do you think, would you wear it?

Wow NES and Atari games are perfect for knitting... every image is made a such crude blocks of color. This is such a learn-how-to-knit for sweater and yes I would so wear it. I think I see a lifeforce or contra pullover in my future. up-up-down-down.. anyone?
1It's very creative. I wouldn't wear it out in public. However,it would be pretty cute in blanket form. Then, I would use it.
2Guineapiggin, this would make a great blanket, or something that is not meant to be worn. Because as cool as this is, I would never wear it in public.
3I love it! And yeah, that would make an even better blanket.
4omg a zelda sweater would rock!
5oh that is so coool! love it.
6oh that is AWESOME! i love it!
7I love it! ...although, I HATE that dog! Whenever I miss a duck it'd pop up and laugh... like it ever did anything to help!
8I would definitely wear this! But I have to agree, it would make an excellent blanket.
9AWESOME!! I love that game!!
10Marissa did a great job!! =]
I wouldn't wear it out in public but I'd most definitely wear it at home while I'm getting my game on!
ITA kungfubunni, a Zelda one would rock!
11Brilliant sweater! I would wear this in public.
12I'm all for the blanket idea too. The sweater is a bit much, however cute it is.
