The green sea turtle is fully protected under both the federal Endangered Species Act and under Hawaii state law
In total disregard of my personal mandate to buy no more yarn, I got a sh*tload of ultra alpaca from Webs. But hey, it's soft and somewhat fluffy and I don't care if its not practical for Hawaii and that summer is on the way.
So I cast on for Pure and Simple's Neck Down Shaped Cardigan. I'm leaving out the shaping.

I love turtles. Seriously. They are such peaceful animals.
oooohhh, that is so cool! it must've been so cool to be sittin in the sun next to a turtle!!!
Beautiful honu! Did you know I made that sweater? It's a really fun knit! But I made mine too small. :(
I made that sweater too. In fact, I made two. The first one I used Merino Stripes, the second, I used Silk Garden. I ended up ripping out the silk garden one totally and used it for my Lady Eleanor and gave it to my MIL.
I just love the green sea turtles. When I lived on the North Shore, growing up, we saw lots. Now that I'm in Kaneohe, I always look out for them when driving past Waimanalo. Beautiful animals.
In Montana, my uncle had turtles living in his lake. They only appeared out of the mud during the few warm months and were dormant the rest of the year. They were neat, but nothing like your majestic sea turtles -- those are amazing!
hey thanks for giving the honu a shoutout on your blog! i have to chuckle a bit when you say it's my "job." i'll have to check and see if i can recall which individuals you are showing here (if you'd want such info). and i must reiterate that you're welcome to join me up there anytime! imagine a knit-out at laniakea beach? pah!
Great turtles!
I say knit what you want. I like the colors you stocked up on. I'll be following your sweater knitting - I have that pattern in stash.
Love the honu shots!!
The yarn is beautiful too!
