My Big Fat F***** C*******s

Heavens! l clicked on this thread PDQ because I didn't want to miss anything before it was deleted.

Great Title!

Well done Witzend, he’s fabulous!

Love him! I would definitely buy one. Wondering where those C*******s fairs are located!

I'm not a fan of C*******s, in general, but your S***a is lovely.

Where did you get the pattern? He’s lovely. (I’d need three and take a long time to knit anything!).

He is great. Brilliant title.

Great !!!!!

Not a particular C*******s fan myself as it happens but my adult autistic son absolutely loves all things Santa so I’m always on the look out, at any time of year. If there’s a pattern we can access, I can ask a bored knitting friend to adopt it as a little lock down project. I’d buy the wool, of course.

Thank you for all kind words.?

He’s 34 cm tall - the pattern is in Jean Greenhowe’s Christmas Special booklet, only exception is the polar bear, which I took from an Alan Dart Advent Calendar pattern. There are other suitable sack items besides the fairy in the same JG booklet: snowman, elf, toy soldier, etc. on the Last Minute dolls page.
Her Nativity set is also in that booklet.

As with all JG patterns, at least all those I’ve tried, the actual knitting is pretty simple and the instructions meticulously detailed. The only fiddly bits were the holly leaves and berries on his hat, but still not difficult.

He didn’t take as long to make as I’d imagined, but still a great excuse for ignoring housework!

Oh he is adorable - I would love one too.
Well Done x

He's fabulous, Witzend!

I'd love one

Have you thought about selling some?

Friend of mine who crochets has set up a small work from home business and advertises on FB etc etc.

He's lovely, Witzend! Well done.

I still haven't sewn up the C****** N***** set, apart from Mary and Jesus

And I thought oh no, not another sweary thread this is getting like Mumsnet

He is wonderful Witzend think you have a good market here on GN.

Same here merlotgran I always miss the contentious posts.

Don't like the C word but this FC is wonderful!

Thanks Witzend. I bet you never thought there’d be so much interest on here!

No, Oopsminty, I haven’t thought of selling them. This one will be for little Gdcs and if I do make any more they’ll be for their school fair raffles (pre school and primary). That’s assuming they’ll still be holding such events of course - if not dd will find homes for them, she has so many friends with little ones.
Thanks again for kind comments. ?

You’re so clever Witzend! Santa is so handsome and just love the cute toys in his sack ?

Lovely!

What a lovely picture.I bought a very similar Father Christmas for £5 in a charity shop about 5years ago and all the family love him.I feel sad when I get him out each year thinking of the Grandma who spent so much time making him only for him to end up in a charity shop. One of mine has already laid claim to him!!

But think how happy that Grandma would be to know that he’d found such a nice new home!

I’ve ordered the booklet from EBay! I’ve never knitted toys before so it’ll keep me out of mischief!

Oh I wish I could make something as wonderful! Well done he’s perfect ?

oh Witzend these are fab,i love him ,do you take orders ,i have a daughter who adores C?????????? and always sets her C????????? table at the end of September ,willing to pay xxxx
