For a bit of variety in the toy knitting stakes I decided to have a go at knitting a camel. This is out of my own head and I’m not sure whether it has been entirely successful. It does look a bit like a dinosaur minus tail. I have been dragging him around and doing an informal poll entitled “What animal is this?”, and so far the results have been recognition as a camel (if not a very good one), and only Sarah said dinosaur.

I quite like him anyway, although I don’t think I will be repeating the experiment. He is interesting but not very cute (never mind, it happens to the best of us).
