The Nativity

I recently knit myself a chess set! I’ll add that separately. Then I decided to make a Nativity set..with about 6-7 weeks to go until Christmas!

I have been told, often, that I’m crackers, bonkers etc. I kind of agree

Anyway, I’ve knit all the pieces of all 12 characters…and I’ve now sewn together six of them…half way there. I can do this before Christmas..just need to construct a crib!

They’re bigger than I expected, each one, (bar the animals and baby Jesus) is around 7-8 inches tall!

The pattern is a purchased one by Knitting by Post and comes in two parts…well worth it. The instructions are clear and, as long as you keep the pieces separate, you’ll manage just fine.
