Pikachu 3DS XL and a Crocheted Pokeball

As some of you may know, Nintendo came out with a Pikachu 3DS XL over the weekend.  It was a very limited edition, and I believe they only made like 50,000 of them.  I was in a few stores over the weekend (hubby is an avid gamer) only to find out that Best Buy didn't get any in, GameStop was only getting a few, and Target had the best deal out there - $40 below the price GameStop was asking.  No, we didn't get one, but Target's was a little tempting.  However, if you're in the market for a regular colored 3DS XL, Target's is still the best price among the three, except Best Buy will price match them.  If you want your Best Buy points, just tell them about Target's deal and they'll look it up and price match it for you.  Handy Dandy.

Along the lines of Pokemon, I have a pattern of Pokeball for you that you can find HERE.  Rose over at Tasty Crochet is very talented and is the author of Tasty Crochet: A Pantry Full of Patterns for 33 Yummy Treats.  Here is the Pokeball I created from her easy-to-follow pattern:
Hubby was very happy with this (I made it per his request because I needed something quick to whip up as a break from my longer projects), and proceeded to attempt to capture our dog.  Thankfully, our dog didn't think it was a toy and merely sniffed it instead of trying to chew on it.  If you're an avid gamer (or know someone who is), have fun with this project!
