Look! I finally finished him!
5 years ago I started Sheldon, which was a popular pattern on knitty.com. The thing about knitting toys is that there are a lot of fiddly finishing details. I finished just about everything except his eyes and limbs, and then I got discouraged when it came to putting the pieces together. The shell and the belly are attached with icord, for example, and that was beyond my knitting skills at the time. And so he seemed doomed to never be finished.
Then E comes home from school and tells me that their class pet is a turtle. Named Sheldon.
So I resurrected him and finished him as a Christmas present from his teacher.
She probably thinks I'm a bit crazy.
But at least I finished him!!
