When asked what is the favorate character in Hayao Miyazaki's animation movie, many people will say Totoro. Not only because it is cute, but it represents lucky and blessing. I had this characters in mind four months ago, and it took me one and half month to finish. I thought it should be easy because it was the first time I knit an existing cartoon character, but it wasn't. I changed the color of yarn for three times. Teared down, and did it over again for more than five times just can not find the best shape and proportion, which always made me crazy. It is still not perfect, the belly is smaller than it should be, so let's just call it Tororo in Sherry's version.
Every work of mine is unique and has its own meanings. Totoro brings people the best wishes, and this knitting work turns out to be the gift for my best friend.

I hope I can make another character by the end of this year, but not sure. Always feel time is not enough to do all the things I want. Hope you like this one :-)
