That's not something you soon forget (some 30+ years later!) So I feel your pain. But, DANG, those leetle guys are so cute!!! EVERYTHING is cuter in Japan!!!

Goro is my favorite! I can just imagine knitting one of these little guys up in a stripy or variegated yarn. Sweet! Thank you for sharing the hermit crab pix. Goro is my favorite!

I'm not sure so I'll have to check your archives. It would be a great way to use up little scraps of yarn by making the shells something that can be removed. Just a thought!

It's great seeing them here! I love the way crabs look (well, except for horseshoe crabs which look more like flat spiky aliens) and how they move. It’s great seeing them here!

I've never been to Okinawa, but if I knew the company would have been so nice I definitely would have made a stop there! ;) Aww, I love your new friends!

These hermit crabs are awsome. It totally beats the one my brother got last summer when we went to Destin, FL that had the life span of a few days. I have a weird fear of crabs too. (I was 6 and my parents took me to Chinatown to buy some crabs for dinner and I was allowed to picked one up with the BBQ tongs the store let us use. I dropped the crab and I started panicking really bad :).) Whoa!! These hermit crabs are awsome.

My fear of them came from the first time I met one. It was my friend's pet, and when she placed it on the palm of my hand, it pinched me HARD. And wouldn't stop pinching until we ran some water over him. He must not have been a very happy crab. Hm a knitted hermit crab… could be very cute!

Not so cute. But in their shells they're definitely a lot of fun. :) I’ve seen hermit crabs outside of their shells. Not so cute. But in their shells they’re definitely a lot of fun. :)
