I crocheted a Nativity set as a present for a friend for Christmas, working on the figures off and on throughout the year. They are only small - about 4 inches high.

I also crocheted this other set. Here are close-ups of the individual figures.
You can find the pattern here.
A third set is in the making. Could we call this a collection or and obsession with multiples?
Definitely a collection....!
ReplyDeleteI was given a lovely knitted Nativity by a Pupil`s Mum when I was an infant teacher, and it stayed with me for years, coming out every Christmas. The children loved it. When I went into dyslexia teaching and no longer had a class, I gave the set to a young teacher in her probationary year. Hopefully it is still in use somewhere, this Christmas.
I`m sure your lovely sets will be treasured.
There's something very endearing about your knitted Joseph! I think he's cute all on his own. But 3 sets isn't obsession, 5 might be.

Obsession? Certainly not!
ReplyDeleteIt's a collection of collections, nothing wrong with that!
