took me a while to make them, and the first Raphael i made was claimed by my son, so the Raphael in this picture is the second one i made.

 

i made a few crochet turtles, and managed to remember what i had done while making them. under the cut is the pattern.
two pictures to show you what you can make with the pattern under the cut:


( ninja turtle pattern under the cut )

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

if you make a turtle, and want to, would you mind taking a photo and showing it to me? only if you want to, of course!

and now the rambling part:

easter was nice, spend the first day over at my momś place, together with other famly members, and went out with my parents and my kids on day two, to a local kinderboerdery ((sorry no idea what its called in english)) i made some photo's, from which i made a slideshow, which you can find here: Link

for the rest things are more and more falling into place.. my son changed schools, and seems to be settling in well, on his new school, and since last week, he finally got swimming lessons, too. my teen daughter is still being a teen, among things.. i will ramble about that in detail later.

I really have gotten he hang of making these, and am having a lot of fun while doing so. so far, most things have been claimed by my kids. the ones i still have are the ball and egg i knitted for practice, and our cat is having his eyes on those, so he migth get the ball. anyways, here are some pictures:



the egg, ball, hearth, and the second turtle. the turtle i made for my son, hearth went to my mom, and is not a key-chain, ball and egg still in the bag i keep my yarn and other crochet stuff in.


And a little bear i made.  I am  making a second one for my son, with the same yarn as the carapace of the turtle above.  and after hat, i have no idea.. but if i get my hands on some green yarn.. i am going to try and make a ninja turtle!

while cleaning my bedroom, i found the bag in which i had some yarn stashed. its quite a lot, but i don't have enough of one color for a big project. i remembered putting my crochet-needles in a drawer earlier this week, and started expirimenting a bit, and in the end decided to try and make a turtle. result posted under cut.
