Notes

My partner and I watched Spirited Away the movie last night. For me it’s a re-watch but I barely the storyline. My partner adores these cute little creatures called Susuwatari (すすワタリ) so I decided to make one for him as a surprise gift! I leave the FO on his desk before going to the bed and he loves them when he found it out the next morning :D This is part of the fun as a crafter!

I followed the Youtube tutorial Crochet Soot Sprites Tutorial | Easy and cute | Hướng dẫn móc Bồ hóng trong phim Vùng đất linh hồn except I used googly eyes. I bought the eyes few years ago from Dollarama and can finally put them into good use :)
