In December one of my Scouting friends tagged me in a picture he snapped of a hand knit Nativity set. I was so glad he did.
Isn't it adorable? I immediately knew I needed to knit it. So I searched high and low until I found the pattern.
It's Jean Greenhowe's Christmas Special. I found mine on Amazon.
I should have known it was one of the amazing creations of Jean Greenhowe. If you're not familiar with her work, do a search. She's a whiz with dolls of all shapes and sizes. She adds such a whimsical look to them that there's no way you can see them and not fall head over heels in love.
This is definitely going on my queue. I love how the shepherds are natural tones and the Three Kings are in bright colors.
Will you be knitting your own Nativity Scene for this year's Christmas? Is it too soon to start?
Ohhh How did I miss this post""???
I LOVE LOVE LOVE them . I know I cant knit them though...

Really lovely, and I admire your goal of making it. I'd like it if someone would knit it FOR me because I know I would never be able to do it.

you should start now. You never know when a flock of chickens or herd of pigs is going to intervene.
