My snowmen are too fat!

I’m making 5 little mini knitted snowmen to go on a knitted wreath - wasn't paying enough attention when stuffing 2 of them, now realise they look frankly obese compared to the others! Luckily the re-makes won’t take long and I can re-use their hats and scarves.
Undoing and partly un-stuffing is likely to be even more of a pain - I sew things up so securely than if I ever have to undo it’s a bugger and a half.
Lately I keep doing daft things like this - another sign of senility creeping up on me? ?

I wonder, when people are busy celebrating, whether they spare a thought for the victims in all this.
Snowmen with hacked off arms, poked, prodded, and stuffed...

If it really bothers you, and they are difficult to unpick, why not just make two new, smaller ones? The 'fatties' could be sold separately as soft toys.

Shocking, isn't it 😂

Nativity figures suffocating in polythene bags for nearly two years, crying to be sewn together and stuffed.

Shall we start a petition, or should I glue you to a bridge or something? smile

That’s what I did, GreenGran, as per my later post.

Yes, MissAdventure - with callous types like me and Callistemon about, we really ought to have a KNOBs (Knitted Objects) Protection Society.
I haven’t binned my poor armless snowman yet, but I’m afraid that’s going to be his ultimate fate.

Your solution was the best. Not necessary to unpick or unstuff the big ones. I was imagining a row of them strung up, increasing in size.

It must be me! I dont think they look fat at all, if anything, a little slim! As someone said, snowmen are 'portly',,,. Rather wish i was a snowman,, i would have a good excuse for looking as i do then!! 😂🤣😂❄️☃️⛄☃️❄️
