Any photos?
I think they should all be different.
Just how fat are they?

It’s for the school fair raffle stall, so I do want it looking right. I did try the two porkers with the others, but sadly they did spoil the effect.
They do all look very jolly anyway, Nannagarra - and they’re pleasantly plump - certainly not skinny!

They need the fat to keep warm grin

No such thing as a Too fat snowman!!! ?

Especially with a big wide smile sewn on his face.

Jolly snowmen need to be fat, surely!

But snowmen are fat. It's your thin ones that are wrong grin

Surely you can arrange them so it looks 'on purpose'? (Two fat ones at the bottom, where they've sunk, or something?)

? Joseanne - I haven’t made any yet, but if I had, dh would have scoffed the lot before they got a look in!

Are they the naughty ones who ate all the mince pies? ? ?

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? ?
