It took a while, but I finally got my bomb pattern up for sale on Ravelry or from here via Paypal. Here it is in all its glory. Just to be clear, that's KNITTED bomb I mean of course...Its the classic cartoon bomb, two sticks of dynamite, timer...
...and detonators.
Its up for sale for 3.50 Euro, and 10% of the sale price goes to MAG - Mines Advisory Group, whose work includes clearing landmines.
You can buy it here via PayPal.
And here is the link to the pattern on Ravelry. (Sign in needed)
Its a fairly easy knit, done mostly in the round, with simple increases and decreases and some I-cord for the detonators. The pattern could easily be converted for making up on two needles. I used some Tivoli double knit yarn, but as gauge isn't important it could be made with any yarn lurking in the large stash any self-respecting knitter has hidden away for emergencies, along with some stuffing.
It took a big of figuring out to get a nice flat face on the timer and in the end I used mathematical formulae. But I was left with some practice timers, one of which converted nicely into an oversized comedy watch...yes, it is totally ridiculous, just like the bomb!

Thanks a lot!
Just checked you blog, sure with a name like that you have to knit it! Looks great.
Cheers!
Ha ha! Half seven! What a lovely time to detonate a bomb. Sure who wouldn't want to get in a bit of dinner before TNT-ing things to pieces! Then again, it could easily be an early morning bomber. A round of toast and tea before total destruction! Brilliant stuff!
Ah, sure we all love an auld explosion before breakfast! I am a morning person after all!
Wow. This is an explosive blog post!
