Does a Turtle Afghan Exist?

[Alaina]

I have a friend who loves turtles and collects them (glass, gemstone, crystal, etc).

I would love to make her a turtle afghan, but most of the patterns I've seen are geared towards children.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a pattern for a turtle afghan that would appeal to an adult (or even a kids' one I can modify?)

Thanks!

I have not seen a turtle afghan pattern but, there are some places that make graphs of pictures of most anything.

I do want to try a graph-ghan this year!

Where are some of those places that will convert a photo to a chart for you?

There is a gal who I remember that has graph patterns you may want to take a look at her site it is: ******* I just check her site and she has turtles on her site look at new patterns click box and I think if I remember she will help with graphs. Janet is well known for her afghan patterns and they seem to be simple to work with.
