notes:
- I knit Sheldino one needle size down from Sheldon and Sheldina so he would come out a little smaller… and he did!
- His neck hole is a very tight fit to get the body in and out of the shell (perhaps due to the smaller needle size?). In fact, I would recommend not taking him out of his shell at all. This is disappointing because it makes him a little bit harder to play with than the other two.
And here is a picture of the happy family:
