Silent Auction Donator(s) Miryenne
Silent Auction Description One day, crafter Miryenne visited a little yarn shop she'd never notice before; it was bigger than she expected, but more yarn should never be questioned. In a back room there was a knitting circle, and one lady was showing off a super cute hatching turtle toy. It was a knit egg which could flip inside out into a turtle and the egg tucked into its belly. A circle of four elephants stood on the shell and a flat disk rests on their backs. As Miryenne had her knitting bag with her, she set to making one herself with leftover yarn. After she finished knitting the disc and the (tiny!) elephants, she packed up and said her goodbyes. And then a whole portion of the shop just seemed to pull away.

Miryenne decided on a cream cotton for the egg, and while paying asked about the knitting circle, but the clerk had was unaware of any gatherings. And when she went back the next week to show them her finished turtle, she could not even find the shop. When she asked about THAT, nobody knew of any local yarn shops.

What is the turtle made from? Yarn! Fibers include: Cotton, Wool, Merino, Nylon, Acrylic, Silk, Linen, and Mohair. The yarns were chosen to be kid friendly but it's uncertain if this would survive a trip through the washing machine and dryer, so best to hand wash/ drip dry.

Each elephant is a little over an inch long and the egg is about 5 inches long.

Craft-Along? Yep!
