Benjamin Greasley - Trinity Winter Cub Camp

It was the most fun camp ever because we got to sleep in the cabin.

On Friday night my Dad drove me to Camp Rutherford in Whitford for cub camp.  When I got there I put my stuff on a bed and then all hell broke lose.  I noticed how everyone was jumping on each other.  I ran to my friends and retreated.

I went to bed after a hot chocolate and didn't get to sleep until 2am because everyone was awake and talking.

The next morning I woke up at about 5am when everyone was still talking.  We had breakfast - toast - and then we went to do our daily activities which was hiking/walking around wet lands and playing soccer.

That night we did skits. I was used as one of the props - sadly.  Now I was being tormented by being the messiest eater in cubs. 

Everyone was more tired that night and I had a better sleep - went to bed at about 11am.

I woke up the next morning 6am and there were only a few people talking.  Then after an hour all hell broke lose again.

My Dad came to pick me up and I went home happily.

This is my friend, she loves pancakes, waffles, orange juice, jumping and my list goes on. I made her from wool and buttons. If you would like to make one like I did, here are the instructions.

You will need:

•             Wool (choose colours you want to make friend in)

•             Buttons x 3

•             Darning needle or crochet hook

•             knitting needles (size 4.5mm)

•             filling (e.g pillow stuffing)

Method

1.Using wool and needles, cast on 16 stitches. Knit 62 rows, then cast off. (rows can vary.)

2.Now for the arms cast on 5 stitches, knit 16 rows, cast off, repeat process to get two  same size arms (vary depending on body)

3.Cast on 5 stitches, knit 30 rows, cast off. Repeat process to get two even legs (vary depending on arms and body)

4.Use darning needle/crochet hook to sew body up, folding body in half (length wise) sew three seams, before closing last seam stuff with filling. Place buttons on to make eyes and nose. Place arms and legs on to complete your special friend.
