Things that make me happy: Shaun the sheep

My favorite animated film of all time is A Close Shave, an Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit short.

My favorite character in A Close Shave? Definitely Shaun the sheep. I have accumulated a little bit of Shaun paraphernalia (especially compared to some people!). Tiny Shaun sits on my phone at work.

I also have a stuffed Shaun.

“Tastes… sheepy. Mmmm… sheep.” -C

“Are you sure this is our best side, Mom?” -C&M

So when Amy posted some pictures from the March 2007 issue of Simply Knitting, I immediately thought of Shaun and had to go buy the magazine (available at Borders).

Someday I will actually knit myself a Shaun – I already have yarn for it! Check out Wendy’s knitted Shaun, which inspired me to track down the pattern on ebay.

  1. I’ve got a Shaun the sheep hot water bottle cover. The kitties love to knead it, so I can only bring him out on special occasions when I’m not worried about them poking a hole in the bottle!!

  2. do you still have Shaun the Sheep pattern I have been trying to find it for a long time I need yt for a grandson and for a great granddaughter.
