My snowmen are too fat!

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!! 😂🤣😂❄️☃️⛄☃️❄️

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.

I'm sure tubby snowman will look fab, as others have said we all come in different sizes and agree, when have you ever seen a skinny snowman🤔 like never 😀

KNOBS.

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.

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.

😂

I feel really guilty, poor little things.

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

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...

Shocking, isn't it 😂

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

oh they are lovely, a shame I can't be there as I would buy that wreath!

I like both. The plump one looks morelike a snowman though. We never have thin Santas, they need a round plump base, why trim snowmen? Go with them both, adds more character. Sure no matrer what you do the wreath will be a work of art.

How about one fatter one each at top & bottom of wreath & slimmer ones all around?

They look great Witzend 👌

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!

Ohhhh I was expecting much fatter! They're both gorgeous.

I knitted the snowman once (from film/book fame)-as i knitted him he seemed to grow & grow.Ended up about 2feet tall.😂

I prefer the fat ones.More jolly looking.😊⛄️

Torsos? Arms?
Before you snip off their legs they’ll be hot footing it to the school fair in fear of your scissors Witzend!
😁

Oh there lovely big or small. I agree all same size would be best though. Well done for contributing to the school fare raffle.

You might be able to get some of the stuffing out by pushing a crochet hook between knitted stitches and pulling some of the excess out.

They are lovely, the wreath will look brilliant. Mum & Dad snowmen with all their smaller kids....⛄⛄

Witzend. They are cute

? Blimey, that was a bit extreme. You could have just given him a sling on his arm and pretended he wasn't well ? You could have got the sympathy vote for him?

?

I won't tell my snowmen!
