Snail Magnets

Here’s a neat idea from catmum on Ravelry: insert tiny super magnets in the bodies of Snails before you close them up, and your Snails can crawl up the fridge!

This is what catmum’s snails look like in a more natural setting:

The pattern is free, so give it a try!

Update: catmum kindly reminded me to mention that strong magnets are a no-no for little kids, because if they are ingested they can be fatal. Plus, Snails are a little too small to be toys for under-3-year-olds anyway.

Knitted Toilet Paper Cover

Cathy in the UK recently sent me a photo that blew my mind: a knitted toilet paper roll cover in the shape of a toilet paper roll! I don’t think you can get more meta than that.

Cathy says she was inspired by my pattern for knitted toilet paper. Awesome!
