Camels! poor aptitude for textiles exposed...

[Beaver80]

Hi everyone

I've previously posted in the Toys & Games section, where someone suggested I might have more luck here!

I'm desperately hunting for a knitted/crochet camel (long story) similar to the beautiful ones that Pebble do.

pookamoo suggested this lovely pattern but I am not a knitter and don't know any. Do you know anybody that accepts 'knitting commissions' that could help me?

Many thanks!

I can do either one of these! Other one is too much for me.

Ebay has heaps of stuffed animal camels too.

My friend wanted some bespoke knitting doing and got someone through her local knitting group. Local wool ships should be able to recommend one.

Wool shops, obviously. Think our john Lewis has a knitting club too.

Thanks everyone! Lots of good food for thought. What did we do before mumsnet??
