Totoro!

Ever since I was young, I've always been a Studio Ghibli fan... and of course, of all the Ghibli films produced, the most well-known one is probably My Neighbor Totoro!



Totoro was filmed a loonnnggg time ago... I think it was probably one of the first few anime films I watched as a kid ~ but if you were to ask me which anime character I like the most out of all the films I've watched, I would have to say it's Totoro. =)

Being my favorite anime character, I decided to crochet Totoro.  The first thing I did was find the right yarn colors, which really wasn't that hard since all the colors I needed were white, grey, and blue.  Designing the pattern did take me a while though (I did a lot of do's, un-do's and re-do's before I finally got the shapes I wanted).  However, seeing my final products did make me feel like it was all worth the time!!

...And here they are!  I tried to recreate the scene where chibi and chu Totoro were being chased by Mei and ended up reaching Totoro sleeping inside the tree trunk.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a place that looked exactly like the ones seen in the film.. I did try my best though ~ Also, I was too lazy to crochet Mei out.. so just imagine she's actually in the scenes chasing after chibi and chu totoro! (mouseover the pictures for descriptions).



















And that's it! Sorry for the overly-bright pictures.. I don't have a really professional camera. =P

More Totoro pictures on my flickr page if anyone's interested. =)

Pinky Monkeys - A Day at the Garden

Discovering a couple of bananas on a tree, Fresh monkey decided to grab one for Pinky monkey.




Pinky monkey sits comfortably as she watches Fresh monkey climb the ladder.


"I see it!!"


He reaches for the cluster of bananas...


... "Got it!!"




Feeling delighted, Pinky monkey rushes over to Fresh monkey.




Back at home...

Hi everyone, my name is Joey and this is my first post! Pinky monkey and Fresh monkey are actually mascots of a Japanese candy known as Pinky. I once owned a Pinky plush which I hung on the pencil bag I use for school. However, I accidentally lost it during a visit to a library on campus and never managed to find it back. To brighten myself up, I decided to crochet a Pinky monkey myself! Unfortunately, the size of the monkey I crocheted ended up being a little too big for my pencil bag...



Hope everyone liked my story!
