Birthday Turtle in Parts

Birthday Turtle in Parts, originally uploaded by tanyalizbeth.

Yes, this is the turtle I am making for my daughter's birthday. Luckily I have more of it done than I did when this picture was taken.

I ordered this book, World of Knitted Toys by Kath Dalmeny, and my DD found it on the table. DD promptly sat down and started cataloging what I would make for her from this book.

Needless to say with her birthday coming up I thought I should make her something by hand. The turtle was the one she liked best, so here we are a couple days from the event and all I have is a stack of parts.

Oh well, she is used to stuff like this by now. She knows she will get it eventually. I'll try to remember to post a finished picture.
