This took me forever to complete. I started with the tube for the body and as I thought it was completely hideous, it kept getting put back in the bag in favor of things I wanted to work on more. As it was a commission, though, I kept going – and as soon as I attached the legs it became magically cute. I’m not sure yet if I will add facial features, as that so often ruins things.
This is my own design, done in DMC Crochet thread with a size D hook. I am thoroughly sick of thread now and will have to move back up to worsted for my next project.

Worsted is a little chunky sometimes, but I always hobble back from the thinner yarns. The turtle is so cute and I like the inartisa shell. Very cute.

Very cute indeed. I really like how it sits up.
