hello, mr. turtle.

My first attempt at amigurumi! Well, really my first attempt at crocheting anything other than the basic blanket or scarf. I’m not familiar with increasing and decreasing or with crocheting in rounds. I’ve taught myself using only instructions and tutorials from the internet and so far I’m pretty damn proud of myself.

This is what I’m working on and you can find the artist and pattern here.

So here’s what I’ve done so far. If any of you have done these before, or maybe specifically the turtle, will you please tell me if your pieces looked similar to this before assembling.

Body/Shell: this is a view from the top of it.

Head (without eyes or mouth yet)

So, that’s it so far! Tell me what you think.
