My snowmen are too fat!

One of them is rather lighter now anyway, MissAdventure. 2nd idiot-error I discovered yesterday morning, was that while working in the evening (inadequate artificial light) I had made one pair of arms in pale cream rather than white. All too obvious in daylight!
So I cannibalised one of the fatties - snipped his (white) arms off and he’s gone in the bin. Evil of me, I know. ?

Have they tried intermittent fasting, or the keto diet?

Your snowmen are adorable. Curvy and not-so-curvy. Is the wreath for your door?

Little and Large, a great duo!

No, it’s for the school fair raffle stall, which is why I’d like it looking as good as poss.
Nearly there, though….

Maybe they could hold something in front of them to hide the surplus pounds, (I know that feeling) sprig of holly, sheet music for carol singing, that sort of thing. Or even a couple of fat cottonwool snowballs?

Oh I see you have only 2 and 3 skinny ones.
How annoying.

Just put 3 fatties on maybe??

You are far too fussy, they look perfect. Just put one either side and not a problem.

They look fabulous to me. I always find the faces the most difficult part, so that’s where my attention would be focused. Your snowmen are indeed very jolly, as well as cute and delightful. I love seeing your finished items Witzend.
Aren’t we exceedingly critical of our own work? If you’re still not sure, could you tease out some stuffing with a crochet hook? If it were me, I’d be happy with them as they are.

The plump little snowmen are lovely. Don't change them. Snowmen can be a bit overweight too.

Could you make another wreath with 5 fat snowmen on it. Or even three if time is short.

I’d buy the that one.

as would I!

You have the patience of a saint! My daughter gave me a kit to make a nativity scene…..I’ve just had a tantrum over it and rammed it back in the bag.

I am not envious of beautiful women or slim women but I am envious of talented women like you Witzend -

Witzend make some fat snowballs and place them at the foot of the snowmen, they won't seem so fat then.

Could you arrange your lovely snowmen so that the fatter ones are on each side with the slimmer ones on top and below, or alternate them so that they balance each other out? They look perfectly fine to me.

Thank you for all kind comments! Will post a pic when finally finished.

Squiffy

As ever, your ‘makings’ are brilliant Witzend! These are adorable!

Could you place them on the wreath in such a way that the cuddlier ones are slightly hidden? A carefully placed holly leaf?

I wouldn’t want Stepford snowmen!! ?

Here’s one of the pie-eaters with one of his slimmer brethren. I know they don’t look that much different, but with 5 of them on an 11 inch diameter wreath - I’ve made exactly the same before - it does look ‘off’. Much as I wish it didn’t!

To me they look absolutely fine, just leave them as they are… Beautiful little snowmen ????

I'd unpick and remove some of their stuffing with tweezers.

They do look as if they ate all the mince pies ??

They are lovely but I can see what you mean. A little unbalanced. If they don’t take long , could you make two more and still use the tubby ones as tree ornaments ?

I'm forever making a last minute mistake.
Or, deciding last minute that something I thought looked great (rose tinted glasses?) Now looks wrong.
I end up with quite a few nearly finished projects clogging up my stash.
So well done for having the patience to persevere
I'm sure it will turn out lovely as all your projects do!
