I am sending you a link to a Japanese site with a turtle pattern. http://www.wa-gire.com/interior/kamemade.htm I work in a library with a large collection of vintage craft books. I have noticed many of the patterns in Japanese craft books are quite similar the vintage patterns. As an alternative to buying the Japanese book, you might want to seek our a few vintage books.

Those turtles are *lovely*!

They remind me of a thing my boyfriend made for me a while ago.

I call it a thing because you can¬¥t really say what it¬¥s supposed to be. It has only one ear and a safety pin piercing.

Oh Claire…when you make a turtle please post it for us to see. You always do the most amazing fabric combinations….I love to fantasise that I have the time to do those kind of things…I suppose I can add it to my list…

Ditto! Ever since Franklin discovered the “Franklin the Turtle” books, he’s been in love with turtles.

I’ve knit an emu from Suzette’s kind pattern but I don’t think knitting is my forte. I would rather do one of these!

Can I get a copy as well?
