My mother is a big time knitting and crochet freak, constantly trying to make me something that I would use out of yarn and sheer manual dexterity, to no avail. I could not imagine anything she could make that I would actually use, but now it becomes readily apparent that I just wasn't thinking hard enough. Or perhaps I should have let Jack Rabbit do the thinking for me. As you can see, she has some completely mad crochet skills:

Of course, I assume that a familiarity with video game systems beyond, "Michael, if I trip on this f***ing Atari wire one more time it's going into the trash with your brother's dirty magazines!" in order to do such exquisite work, so it is quite lucky that Jack Rabbit plans on taking custom orders in May for both the system and an old-school television with a classic Atari 2600 game knitted onto the screen. Hit the jump to see more.

Simply magnificent. For me, it shall be Yar's Revenge.
