Totoro Double-Knit Potholder

So, apparently I've become fairly obsessed with double knitting. If you don't know what that it it's when you cast on two pieces at the same time, onto the same needle, and knit them both one stitch at a time. If you cross the colours over (creating a reversed two-colour pattern on each side) the two pieces are connected, but you can also knit two separate items, if you're careful and don't twist your yarn anyway.

My second potholder features the Studio Ghibli forest troll Totoro and his two smaller totoro friends in blue and pale brown. And it's adorable - at least on the blue-totoro side. The brown totoro on the blue background... well... it reminds me more of the freaky rabbit-guy Frank from Donnie Darko.
Perfect end result or not it was fun, and who's to say Totoro doesn't have a dark side, anyway? I bet if anyone did anything to Mei or Satsuki (the little girls from the film) he'd get pretty fired up about it.

... still creeps me out, though.

EDIT (for Sarah!)- and for anyone who would like to make their own, here is the chart I worked from. Enjoy!
