the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

[opmania]

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

Keep it clean 

And be nice 

See how long that lasts

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

The camel is really cute Tas.......but isn't it missing something?  

I suppose its hump might be hiding under the blanket🤔

That's brilliant, Tas. 🙂

I'm very impressed.

I have a favourite Nativity that I visit every year, for no better reason than to wish the animals a Merry Christmas, ha ha...

🙂

Obviously, the camel's name would have to be Humpfree...

Ha ha...

Also, while I'm here. what's faster, Hot or Cold?

Spoiler

Hot, because you can always catch a cold... ha ha...

Brilliant!    🥳

"Humpfree" .... love it.... 

Wonder if I could fit a ping pong ball under the knitted back to make it look like a hump?  Any ideas, would that work?

[ecar3483]

Half a ping pong ball, maybe?

The prevailing wisdom seems to be "Cut it Very carefully, and along the seam"...

It's Sunday!

Day "Oh, really... Do I have to count? It seems like forever" of the seemingly endless lockdown....

So here's a suitable music interlude...

Tas - a ping pong ball is too round - methinks. 

He would look like he has a tummy ache. 

What about a cardboard cone - with the top rounded a little - humps are more pointy.

Tas, I'd just pack more stuffing into the 'hump' section to make it higher.

Any stretching of the stitches will be covered by his blanket.

If it's a simple pattern made with squares as you say, try less stitches to make the squares smaller, thus making the camel smaller ,and more in size with your nativity set.

Always write down what changes you make to a pattern.  Believe me, it's so easy to forget what you did for the next time.

Some really good ideas there, thank you so much everyone.

I think, once the camel is made (and smaller, thank you stawks) I'll try extra stuffing and see what happens.

I'm going to make three camels, so might try each suggestion;  that would make three nice "Humpfulls"  rather than "Humpfrees"...
