The First Part of the Turtle Blanket

wow! i didnt think it was going to be this big! I guess it makes sense, but this is going to be a HUGE blanket! Im much slower in knitting it than I should be. This one is for a friend's baby, so I really need to get on the ball w/ it. I'm so excited to see how it turns out. Its so easy to knit too. I'm using circular needles. I think I am going to get rid of all my straight needles..these are just so much easier to deal with when juggling babies and other activities and in traveling. :)

Off to start the green now!
