    About

    I made this Nativity many years ago, when my children were small. The two youngest are in their thirties now and the oldest turned 40 this year. All of the characters were made from scraps of left over wool. With the exception of the little sheep, a new ball bought for these. It has lasted well over the years, always brings back memories at Christmas time. Hopefully it will last for many more years to come.
    The pattern is from Jean Greenhowe's Christmas Special Book - see Photo. Hayfield 7104.as the pattern is so old I am not sure whether it is still in print. If not and you would like a copy of the pattern, contact me with an email address.

        Thank you Michelle, So far It seems to have survived being packed away each year with the Christmas trimmings. It always has sentimental memories for me when I set it up, each year as i remember my Dad who was very fond of my little knitted nativity. ๐Ÿ˜Š
