And ok, I feel a little bit guilty for keeping you up so late, but you have done evil, evil things to me. I'm the slowest person in the world at publishing patterns (as in, I haven't yet, despite making several things of my own design) and now I want to design something for everyone in bandom and give the pattern their first name, with no other explanation to the non-bandom world.
Clearly, everyone needs their own ugly Mikey hat, and Frankie fingerless gloves with skulls on the outside and pumpkins on the palm. And snuggly soft Bob wristbands with a pocket to put one of those reusable ice cubes in, because crocheters totally get carpal tunnel too and I bet you weren't even thinking of that at the time. (I will admit that this is maybe not the first time I've thought that Bob needs someone to knit cozy wrist things for him.)
La la la, going to go play Worlds of Warcraft now and forget the past 10 minutes. :P
That site is password locked, and google images brings up a lot of terrifying results, but not that one. Pretty sure someone I know posted a pic of it at the time... I can try poking around to find it (when I'm drunk enough).
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahah dooooooooooooooo it! There's a whole book right there!
I did totally think of Bob & his wrists, probably because my mum has carpal from years of hairdressing, followed by years of embroidery and knitting and quilting. So yes, Bob needs all the snuggly soft wrist things in the world (splint cozies!)
(Gabe's pattern will be an arigurimi cobra, right? Or no, like a giant neon purple sweater with a cobra on it. ::resists urge to start charting some interstasia::)
I'm taking an advanced amigurumi class this Saturday, and I've been wanting to make a three-headed plant monster. They feature in just about every roleplaying game ever, yet the books with zombies and robots and such never include a plant monster. Thinking back to Gee's drunken interview where he goes on and on about the difficulty of getting together enough people to play D&D while on tour, I think I'm going to have to name the plant monster after him. :P
I was thinking for Gabe, a purple codpiece with an intarsia cobra on it. But I'd need to find a mannequin to pose it on, because I don't know any guy I could convince to wear it even OVER their clothes.
I don't know much about the TAI guys, and in most fic Carden seems to be cast as the asshole, so purely on that basis...
He thinks the post-emo fashion of wearing those slouchy knit caps is totally bullshit -- why does Pete Wentz keep signing tiny little guys anyway, I mean, who the fuck are these "cabbies"? -- but he does have a fondness for nice, warm mittens. Because it's fucking cold in Chicago in the winter, okay, and as a musician he needs to protect his hands. He might wear a gray on black, barely-there fair isle design because that stranded shit makes it twice as thick and warm, but nothing with cables because that's, like, a fashion statement, and that's totally not the point of the mittens. If he smokes, he maybe likes those convertible ones where you can peel back the mitten flap and have a smoke without the rest of your hand getting cold (but if he knows the term 'glitten' he would never, ever admit it). Anyone who wants to knit mittens for him dare not give them to him, though... they'd have to leave them lying around
( ... )
(I love asshole Carden! He's totally not a secret softy at all. When Butcher made him that scrapbook for his birthday he had to go hide in his bunk so no one would see him get all emotional and cry.)

And would you believe, my bandom folder already had a file called 'mikeyway ugly hat' in it? *facepalm* Sorry to put you to the extra trouble.

Pfft, mannequin? I'm pretty sure Gabe himself would pose for you. And then post it to his twitter.
(Have I told you lately that I love you? Because I do. Pls be telling me what Carden's knitwear would be, I need to know.)

This guy is the type who'd need to steal knitwear in an attempt to be an asshole.
This guy just scares me.
