Okay, so this might not be groundbreaking mobile gaming news, but it’s just too awesome to ignore.

Over on the PlanetJune.com craft blog there’s a brand new post detailing how to make your own plush lemmings using a style of Japanese crocheting known as amigurumi.

The creator of these awesome soft toys, June Gilbank, is clearly a long time fan of the suicidal rodent game, and shows you how to make walkers, blockers, floaters, miners and builders - complete with wild green reggae hair and all the tools of their puzzle-solving trades.

Lemmings has consistently delighted us on every pocket platform it’s appeared on, including mobile (and both its sequels), and PSP. Now all we need is an iPhone version.

A handy hint to any crafty, non-gaming partners out there – these would make the perfect gift for any retro gamer that you’re totally stuck to buy for. Guaranteed nostalgia points for providing a wicked Lemmings diorarma like this.

There are three posts involving these gorgeous knitted Lemmings, so go check 'em out: 1, 2 and 3.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
