Phew, finally finished, down to the gormless-looking sheep.

^Phew, finally finished, down to the gormless-looking sheep.^

Well, I think that...

Oops, sorry - the headline made me think this was a political thread ...

Actually, I think your little display is quite lovely!

Me too!

And I just love your display, Witzend! Gormless sheep and all!

Well done!
I’m making the selfsame nativity, but I’ll m not using the same colours nor am I putting features…
Still more to come; only started last week.

They look great, but Just out of interest, why no features, grandMattie? Do you just prefer them without? Thanks to Jean Greenhowe’s very explicit instructions I’ve always found them very quick and easy to do - far easier than I expected when I made the first set - and was amazed when they looked right first time!

Well done Witzend,your so talented.

Oh such talented ladies here on GN! I’m very impressed by all the photos. I love seeing crafts of all kinds as I’m completely talentless in every department.

I think it's amazing, you must have tremendous patience.

I wouldn’t say that, LadyGracie - more a case of liking making things far more than I like housework - why isn’t there a lazy-baggage emoji?

Mokryna, the men have beards.

I think it's amazing, you must have tremendous patience.

That's very sweet.

Cute! Well done, Witzend.

It’s lovely ❤️

They are lovely, well done.
Will the grandchildren in future years be asking why are the men wearing masks and Mary not?

They are lovely.

Well done for getting the sheep under control! The whole thing looks lovely.

I'd never have the patience and am currently struggling to crochet 3 cone-shaped Christmas trees with crochet chain decorations (the gold and silver metallic thread has a mind of its own).

You could find another project that doesn't involve gormless sheep to use up the wool before you get tempted to try and do another one?

Although I read this thread yesterday I read the title this morning as being related to the sagas in the government

Those are brilliant, Auntieflo!.

Ashcombe, yes, I do, but not very well!

I have just finished 6 little hats for Ferrero Rocher chocs. These were a request from our great grandson, but will be kept for C.......s.
Nice to have time for some time wasting.

I made the same set ages ago, and it comes out every Christmas. It's a great pattern - very easy to follow. I used cornflake boxes for the bases, if I remember rightly (cut to shape, obviously )

using little yogurt drinks bottles as the body bases

Brilliant idea, Auntieflo!
That might give me some inspiration

Well done Witzend!

You could crochet a blanket with all the leftovers ?
It could be a chilly winter.

How clever, Witzend! They look super!

I see you have a piano. Do you play?

I like that, clever.

Witzend, they are lovely. You know what they say about sheep being easily led, (gormless) Clever lady.

I made a Nativity set, using little yogurt drinks bottles as the body bases, and knitted clothes to fit. Unfortunately they don't have arms!
