My daughter got a fabulous opportunity to go on a camp to see turtles hatching during school summer holidays
While going through patterns to find a particular design I came across a No-Sew Sea Turtle pattern by Primary Patterns ( I think on Ravelry).
I just /had/ to make one for her camp hat!
I dug around for some turtle-ish green. This is a handspun I did last year. Wool fleece was a foundling, which I had spun a bit thicker than usual, then dyed with some Landscape dye. It hadn't gone as dark as I was expecting so once clean and dry I had put it in my handspun stash
To add a bit of colour to the shell I grabbed a dark green thread to work in with the handspun
The construction was a little tricky but only as I hadn't done it before. Instructions are quite clear. Added brooch back.
Gwen was thrilled 🐢🐢🐢
And then I made another for her LIC who was equally thrilled
