STITCH LONDON MEETS NINTENDO!
Be on Nintendo TV • Win a Nintendo DS
Join Stitch London in teaching Nintendo TV staff how to knit to celebrate the launch of the new Kirby's Epic Yarn game on the Nintendo Wii. You can also enter the Kirby-a-Like Competition and win yourself a Nintendo DS.
8 February 2011 from 6pm at
The Stamford Arms
Handmakers and gamer geeks unite! Those funky folks at Nintendo are taking the cool of craft and the kookiness of computer games and stitching them both together in the squishy new Wii game Kirby's Epic Yarn.
The game follows the purled perils of its hero Kirby, a giant squishy pink ball, who is turned into yarn (woo hoo!) when caught stealing the precious tomato of an evil sorcerer. Ah, tempting tomato crime. It could happen to anyone.
The cool thing about the game is that the whole thing is set inside a magic sock. The worlds are squashy, yarn-covered and riddled with stitches, buttons and zips.
To help launch the game and in a bid to learn a bit more about the knit Nintendo TV are coming to Stitch London on February 8 to learn how to create a handknitted Kirby and film the yarn-flavoured madness.
Want to win stuff? Your challenge, should you choose to play, is to:
- Grab a ball of pink yarn (any size will do)
- Add some eyes, a mouth and rosy cheeks any way you like (felt, buttons, paper, material) to 'Kirby' it up
- Bring along your ball of yarn Kirby-a-like on the 8th
- Hand him over and hope he wins
Not sure what Kirby looks like? See tons of images here.
Join us on February 8 at The Stamford Arms for the usual knitting and a little bit of Nintendo fun. Mario moustaches not required.
