Hi Marlene,

The pattern for the hearts is still up on my blog (you just have to click on “older entries” at the bottom of the Free Pattern page):

I’m glad you like this pattern! It’s definitely not going anywhere.

Hi! I looove this site and I looove these snails. However, is there any way you could repost the pattern for the hearts? I made one in February, and now all my friends want one. I miss this pattern!

Thanks!!!

Hi Anna, I love your work, it’s so funny and sweet, original and creative! But I have to say that I have a big problem with snails ant slugs: I’m phobic, it’s awfull especially when I go for a romantic walk in the forest after the rain…
But yours don’t scare me, they’re so cute! But my favorite is the bath with bubbles, and the raining cloud (I’m from Brittany, a rainy place in France)

Sorry for my strange english, what do you think about my blog? You’re in my favorite!

bye!

Hi Nicole, sorry to hear you’re having some problems with the shell… I’m not so sure what could be going wrong, unless you missed the correction that I added - there was originally a mistake in the row counts for the shell (for the first day or so that the pattern was up). Could you be using the patterns as originally posted? If that’s not the problem, then I think I would suggest using a smaller needle size, if you’re currently using something bigger than size 1, and then just trying to curl the shell as tightly as possible. Please let me know if you continue to have problems!

I totally adore these! I made one up this afternoon and it’s just such a great little creature. I hardly touched my sock stash, so I can see a few more of these in my future.
One question, I’m having trouble getting the shell to curl up just right. Any suggestions? It’s a little loose, and I have a hole in the middle (more of an “O” than a shell).

i was thinking that those would be so cool being able to “crawl back” inside their shell.
