And especially for those who write softie patterns (like you, you, you and you)
People who can imagine turning flat shapes into rounded ones
With a head, a body, a hump and four legs (albeit slightly splayed ones)
Who can help to create this kind of happiness
(Except she doesn't actually get to keep it. The toy is a gift for a camel-mad sixty year old man.)
Not sure I'll be making another one in a hurry. It was rather labour intensive.
But I do know it will be well loved.
Happy Sunday to you.

It is brilliant - Pauline is a master at designing toys - she is fantastic with shapes.
Wow he's fabulous!!! I am sure he will be truly loved!
Your spotted camel is just gorgeous. Well worth the work. I agree toys are fiddley.
Oh! Andi he is stunning. I think there is someone in that last picture who thinks you should give it another go,
I totally agree, I DETEST making softies.
The funny thing is that I feel that exact same way about quilters!
I'm not good at softies, but did you know my sister has 5 camels as pets.
Hi Andi, I am verrrrrry impressed you finished Chrissy as your first real softie - 'cos she is one of the hardest patterns I've made - but your camel looks amazing! : )
(Thanks to Kate for the nice things you said!)
as a softie maker it is always nice to get "our art" acknowledged for its complexity! Thanks Andi for getting it and I reckon your camel is brilliant!!
I'm humming "Alice the Camel" now.
Wonderful camel Andi. Looks like a fab pattern.
brilliant!!!
Andi, you have nothing to be worried about - he is a rock solid excellent camel - and i love the spots.
Take a bow (and cut out another one)
ah.. I too have done the "splayed legs" to stand upright :) I was just happy that I managed to finish 3 reindeer in time for Christmas :)
Adorable! Do you mind me asking how the legs are attached that allows them to still be able to rotate on the body?
I LOVE camel softies, and this one came out beautifully!
