Tortoise Cardigan

[Zouave]

My wonderful mother has decided i need a cardigan with a tortoise on it. :Tort: I agree.

This is a test piece she made. She says it very challenging pattern and she can knit in her sleep!

I'll post the final result in a few weeks (maybe less as she really is a machine!) and we shall start the bidding war at that time. lol

maybe she can make those into ornaments like i posted a few days back..
make them two sided and stuff them!

 

[Jacqui]

Sweet! Would you ask, if she would share her pattern with us?

 

[Zouave]

I'll do you one better, i had already scanned it to enlarge it for her.

She's looking for tortoise/turtle buttons that she feels will work. I may model it when it's done.

Someone said it shoulda been a turtle neck sweater instead of a cardigan ..... Mom agreed.

Very nice, lovely work.
I think there's a bead store around here that carries
tort/turt buttons? I'll have to check and see next time
I'm in town.

I clicked here expecting to see a cardigan for a tortoise. This makes so much more sense.
