This is Sheldon. And admittedly he is a bit homely, but in the cutest way possible I hope. He was pretty fun to knit for the most part, although the finishing was quite tedious. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out, but if I could do it over again, I would use smaller needles. Mine is knitted loosely enough that you can see the stuffing, so I think a tighter knit would work better. Here are the details...Pattern: Sheldon

One more thing to share. When we had lunch last week Jessie gave me the most hilarious and unique baby gift: temporary baby tattoos. With a dad like Jeramy, it only seems appropriate. My favorite tats are the spiked pacifiers and pirates with the words "say aaarrghh". Check them out:

I love Sheldon!! He is adorable, and not the least bit homely.
Okay. Jen. I want BOTH. Seriously.
I understand I'll never get a sheldon, as he was so much work for you and you would never do another one. Nor can I knit.
BUT ... I'm sure you can find out where I can get a sheet of baby tattoos!!! Tell me! You know I'll actually use them!
(I'm getting my upper arm finished 7/15 and then I'm getting the outline of my COMPLETE SLEEVE on 7/18! OMG. Finally! A sleeve!!!)
Very cute! I never have the patience to knit things that require that much finishing.
THe tats are funny. I think john would like that. The turtle is awesome. I want one. Are you taking orders? you could sell them. Too cute.
OMG... Sheldon is so flippin' adorable.
And the tatoos are so perfect.
Super cute! I've wanted to make that little turtle for a while!
I LOVE Sheldon!! I had put my knitting down (I'm trying to teach myself) but I need to pick it back up. Sheldon is a good goal!!
My Hubby bought Guitar Hero last week and I had never played it before and now I can't stop. It is really awful - I can't get anything done!!
SO CUTE! I've been wanting to knit an animal and a pillow...
Awwww, so cute! I'm very impressed. I also love the baby tats! Too funny! Can't wait to see some pictures with Jillian and her ink!
I love Sheldon! He is soooooo cute!!!!!!
Oh how I wish i could knit..or sew or anything creative like that. He is soooooo adorable! And baby tatoos, waaaay too cute...will you use them?
Glad I found your blog today, I;ll be back.
I totally need to get those tattoos. Every time we go to the beach, I turn to the ChickieNob and say, "let's get some tats this time" and she replies, "I just don't think so."
OMG, I think Sheldon's adorable. You are a seriously good knitter.
LOL, the baby tats are hilarious!!
