Turtle Mania

My current project is unnamed no more! I've decided to do turtles at the yoke, thanks to Paper Turtles Chart by Genevieve Noel in Ravelry.  Plus, instead of introducing a third color, I think I will just keep it at the blue and green. The body of the sweater is blue and then I'll just do the design for the turtle in green.  
Basically, this is part of the chart. They will be in sets of 2 turtles looking at each other with little fish swimming along sides.  The kids helped me decide on this design because Adam was wearing a t-shirt yesterday with a cute turtle design on it.  Also, I'm thinking that the blue/green combination of colors match with turtles more than any other animals that I've been thinking about. 


It seems like I've been obsessed with this project for a few days and I'm just glad that I've come to this conclusion.  Now, I'm looking at yarn for another Totoro sweater for Lena, something more colorful and thinner.  I would also like to do another one with the original paper dolls for ThiThi but I'm still debating on whether to do that or not.  I still have to finish the leg warmers for Tori.  The leg warmers have taken a back seat to this new obsession of mine to do colorwork.  I never thought that I could knit up a sweater with designs on it!  I started knitting less than a year ago and I've been wondering ever since why I did not take up knitting earlier.  Oh, that's right, I was busy crocheting hats for the boys.  I do love knitting so much more than crocheting though.
