Squeeeee!!!!

A snail. With a Christmas sweater.
Dear God, I love the internet; for without it, I would have never beheld this wonderful sight!

What gauge needles does one use to knit or crochet the snail sweater? Where does one get the pattern? I want to make sure the snailios in my garden are warm...

Jenn
 |  Dec 27, 2008 at 05:18 PM

Whose size 2 knitting needles made this teeny topper? Now I feel bad that I didn't knit any of the snails in my garden something for the holidays.

Shelly

Hilarious and creative! I love it.

On another note: this reminds me of a book about how a little grumpy gnome learns to love again by having to take care of a snail named Rosie. Rosie eventually dies but the gnome finally learns to love and be kind. Wish I could remember the name of the book. It's a Christmas story even. :(

Isn't Nicholas Snailcozy the president of France?

A snail...makes sense I guess.

Steven Baranowski
 |  Dec 27, 2008 at 05:33 PM

Oh, you must go look at the blog. She made tiny crocheted Halloween costumes for the snailios!!! And her crochet covered rocks are fabulous. I love the Intarwebs!!

Aw snaily, I am glad so many people love you. I try but I do not think I will ever like snails. Or frogs.

Well, it's only a matter of minutes before someone writes the lyrics to "Santa Slug-gy."

This is just...too...beyond...words...

 |  Dec 27, 2008 at 10:04 PM

For some reason... and I don't know WHY, but these pictures had me laughing in delight.

You gotta admire the way she see's things so differently, this crafter. I mean, who'd have thought to create something like this?? Not your everyday garden variety knitter, that's for sure.

 |  Dec 27, 2008 at 10:26 PM

Ahahahahahaha, cute!
Also, coccyx or cochlea came to mind when I read "coctail". Hm.

As if this post could be improved on, someone goes and thinks up Nicolas Snailcozy. Breee-lliant !

Thanks Meg! Your recent posts are greatly contributing to helping me get over the flu.

@claudia: I agree----how wonderfully creative!!!

Gail (the first one)
 |  Dec 28, 2008 at 03:36 AM

I hope it dosn't dry the snail out. that cosy looks very absorbant. :P

Thanks for the visit from St. Nicholas (Snailcozy)! I am joyous!

 |  Dec 28, 2008 at 05:45 AM

If that doesn't make you happy to look at, well, I have no other words, you need to 'see someone' right now. Thank you to everyone who made this wonderful picture essay possible.

Nicholas Snailcozy is indeed the President of France, yes,he is indeed.

Michelle S., you are absolutely right, everything else will be just commentary.

Dear person who knit a snail cozy,
Thank you. From the top of my head to the bottom of my feet.

Theresa-I am so much better, thank you! The main Pneumonia is gone, just tiredness and the occasional cough remain, the Fibro is there and the Orchestra has been invited to play in the New Haven Symphony Youth Orchestra Festival in March in Yale's Woolsey Hall!

I wish us all a wonderful 2009, with love and music for all to share! Woohoo!

How are my dear friends here?? I see some new names-welcome!

Alright bserv, you asked for it:

Santa snaily, come along your glistening trail, don't fail
To leave your presents under the tree
Santa snaily, hurry down the chimney to me

Santa snaily, I've been so kind to molluscs all year, my dear
I've knitted little hats for their shells
Santa snaily, hurry down and see for yourself

You can take your time; I'll wait--
I don't mind if you're a little late
When your gifts come from Santa Snail
You have to like to anticipate
Boo doo bee doo

Santa snaily, sometimes your delivery's slow, ho ho
I doubt you'll make it here in a day
Santa snaily, but could you bring my mittens by May?

Santa snaily, Christmas Day has come and it's gone (yawn yawn)
I'm still guessing when you'll arrive
Santa snaily, maybe by July twenty-five?

I left some snacks here by the fire
All the Christmas goodies you could desire
Little snail, I hope you get here soon
'Cause even fruitcake has got to expire
Boo doo bee doo

Santa snaily, I promise that I won't give up hope, nope nope
I still believe that you're on your way
Santa snaily, hurry down the chimney today

Hurry down the chimney today
(repeat 47 times)

Hurry down the chimney already!!...
