A recent gaming obsession was PiCTOBiTS, the retro-style puzzle game for the DSi. It is addictive! Then frustrating! Then over. (I was sad when it was over.)
PiCTOBiTS is only available for the DSi, but you can read reviews of other cheap and free games for many systems (including your web browser) in the new biweekly Sawbuck Gamer feature that John put together on The A.V. Club website.

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.

Cathy says she was inspired by my pattern for knitted toilet paper. Awesome!
You can now find me tweeting on Twitter, as mochimochiland. Some of my tweets will be related to knitting and cute stuff. Other topics include dental floss, Starbucks, and funny names for generic cereals.
So many letters, and never one for him…
Tropicalgirlknits first suggested that I make a tiny mailbox, so she gets a free pattern. Thank you for the idea!
