Thierry the Tortue

[Kimberly]

I would like to introduce you to the latest member of my household......Thierry the Tortue!

Thierry will be living with me on a short term assignment, supervising the creation of several other turtle friends of varying colors and sizes, before being sent of to America!

 

The pattern came from Reecie. I followed the pattern for the most part....I crocheted the bottom in a round instead of wedge section, and then slipped stitch it to the toppart, creating the tail while going around! He worked up fairly quickly and was really fun to make!!

Aww Kimberly

He turned out very very cute... Bet his is a well matterned pet also.

I am not into crocheted animals but the more I see these little cuties the more I think I really need to try a few. Great ay to use up some left over yarn. Would make a great doggie toy with a squeaker inside. Naww it is to cute to let the dogs chew on .

Thanks Darlene!! You are right - they are great to use up the scraps....And as shown with Thierry's colors, imagination is your only limitation.....no little kid would look down on Thierry for being blue and not green or brown! He worked up very quickly and would be perfect to donate to a local childrens hospital ward - a little buddy to hold onto when getting a shot!

Oh I love little things.

That is one neat turtle.

Hopefully we will see the others when they are done? :dreaming

He's so cute, Kimberly!! I have been wanting to make one of these, but my WIP/WIM list is so long.... Great job!! I can't wait to see all his new friends, too.

I like the colours you chose. He's an adorable turtle.

Thanks everyone!! No fears, I will be showing his little friends.....I am still working on making a larger size turtle..I was thinking of doing a momma turtle and her babies.

 

While Thierry is marked down to go to my nephew, I have been thinking of sending the Momma and a bunch of 'babies' to my aunt who is a Pediatrician....the Momma would be hers and the babies would be available to be given to her patients. I am still waiting her feedback on this one though!

Looks great and as you say the different combinations

are endless. If Tampa Doll made that as a gift she would

have to make two, one for my computer room desk. lol

Oh, he's really cute (or is it a she)....be sure and show us the others when completed!!

Too cute,Kimberly!

He's so sweet! He looks great! And I love his name. Is he French?

 

I need to try making a turtle, too, since I am on an amigurumi kick (*adds to ever-growing list*)-- after all, they are my people!

It is a toss-up on if he is french or belgian.....I think he has decided to be french (Tortue is french for Turtle btw) I'll give the next one a Flemish name and he (she) can be my Belgian turtle....I think that Schildpad is turtle in Flemish.....its turtle in Dutch at least......

That is really so cute, Kimberly! I wonder why I almost missed this post.

[reecie]
