    Maybe Throttle can teach Ronin how to crawl. What a great squishy toy for her. Kudos to Ilana. –Gramma Peg

    Pretty fancy turtle! Ronin is looking so cute! Its so neat to me how she is a perfect mix of each of you.

    Ronin’s got quite a scary ‘Come hither so I can do the same to you’ look in those photos. I’m not sure I’d want to meet her down a dark alley late at night…

    Damn, I knew I should have put more stuffing in the neck.

It sure does warm my heart to see her lovin’ him up! Throttle is a great name too. Patern can be found here, if there are any intersted kniters out there:
