If you could buy happiness from a Morton Williams grocery store, this is what it would look like!

I so rarely make multiples of one toy design, so it was fun to knit up a bunch of the Baldees for sale at Schmancy. (Took me a long time to do it, though!)

It was also a lot of fun designing the tags to attach to each of the Baldees.

The reverse side shows the Baldee’s name and lists his or her attributes.

Sarah: sweet, caring, balding

Peter: smart, loving, balding

Carlos: artistic, daring, balding

Jason: rowdy, sharing, balding

Richmond: funny, giving, balding

I kind of miss having so many of these guys around! (I did keep five as samples, of course.)

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.
