Bubbles!

Well. I am quite proud.

Earlier this month I completed a present for Sam which I've had on the needles for quite a while. It's been really something to get things finished, lately. I'm looking to summer

Sheldon, by Ruth Homrighaus is an adorable, affordable (free pattern & done with inexpensive cotton sportweight) project!

As you can see Sam loves it:
He even named it! He took one look at it & hugged it... Happily crying "Bubbles!"

I thought it was just one of those language flukes toddlers often have... But, later when the Godfatha' asked him where "Bubbles" was... HE WENT TO THE STUFFED ANIMAL SHELF!!!
As most knitting -oriented people may know, Sheldon has a bit of a cult following. The original designer, as well as other ravelry types have made other "shell" costumes for him to wear. There's even a Spiderman outfit! How cute is that?

I will have to make one, too. I can feel it.
I'm just waiting for inspiration to hit.

I will say this... I am a little concerned with what may come from teaching Sam that (knitted?) turtles can come out of/change their shells. Hmmmm....
