It's time for another installment of "Cute Overload in Amigurumi Form!"

Meet Snailio.



Snailio Iglesias, that is.



He can spend his time singing "Shoo-be-doo-be-doo"

(Though given that he is Snailio IGLESIAS, perhaps it's more likely he'd sing, "To all the females I've love-darted before...." And then he'd need a Willie Nelson snail to sing backup.)

(And yes, technically, snails are hermaphrodites. To which both Snailio and I say, "Shut up".)

So Snailio can sing and be cool, but sometimes, because he's such a SMALL snail, he's more kind of like, "Ehn! Ehn!"



Sometimes it's hard to make progress when you are very small.

Pattern is from an excellent free pattern from Mochimochiland. If a person were ambitious, you could make up enough snails and slugs (a variation of the pattern) and make an odd sort of checkers set. Or you could sew a ring or pin finding to one and have a very unusual piece of costume jewelry).

Me? I think Snailio is going to live on the keyboard of my laptop, he seems happy there.
