Finally finished, but…

Witzend

I’d started it for Gdcs’ primary school raffle - I’ve made a couple for their 🎄raffles before - they’ve always gone down well.
But found out the other week that they’re not having a raffle this year! Only a tombola, and I’m not donating it for that.

I asked dd to ask younger Gdd’s teacher whether they’d like it for the classroom (Y1, it’s a C of E school) or for anywhere else in the school, but haven’t heard yet.
We shall see…

That's absolutely lovely, wish I had it. So clever to make such a thing.

That is really gorgeous OP. They are mad not to snap it up

Hi. Yes my MIL did do a couple of sets for us. One I kept as so beautifully done and the other to a RC school. I hope they still have it.

PS, little Gdd2’s teacher has said they’d love to have it for the classroom, so 🙂!

It's superb. Can you sell it and give the money to a charity of your choice or the school?
Someone will pay good money for

TBH I wouldn’t actually sell it. I’ve been asked before whether I would make one to order, but they involve such a huge amount of work, I just wouldn’t do it for what anyone would pay, only for e.g. a school, or for fundraising.

Anyway, this will positively be my last! First was for elder Gdcs when they were only 2 and 3, and Gds was still at the chuck and bash stage, and would have broken anything breakable in 5 minutes!
2nd was for their (C of E) pre school, and IIRC, 2 since for the primary school raffles.

I dare say this will finally find a suitable home somewhere! 🤞🎄

How lovely Witzend.

..^it carries far more meaning in its bold simplicity than many a complex work^.

Its lovely, and very, very competent. wherever it finds a home, it will be loved. and bear in mind, if it doesn't find a home this year, you can enjoy it and next year start contacting folks early, it deserves a proper home.

I think it's good enough to be in a cathedral level place, and that could take some arranging in advance. I bet some places have a children's corner, but frankly its good enough for everyone to enjoy.

I crocheted a set just like that many moons ago when GC were very little and it comes out every year still. They loved putting Baby Cheeses in the crib!

I think it's absolutely wonderful.

I hope the school accept your kind offer and have it in the entrance where everyone coming into the school can see and enjoy it.

Witzend, that is so beautiful, I am sure any school would want it in reception or a local church..

That's lovely, Witzend. I, too, had one in my classroom ( Early Years Teacher) and it was enjoyed by many children for many years.
I'm sure that any teacher of young children would appreciate it.

Wow they’re fab! I hope you find a good home for them and raise some money at the same time

Really lovely. You could also donate it to a charity shop in your area that you approve of. They could display it in their window and sell raffle tickets. About 15 years ago our charity shop did this and we easily raised £50 back then. Worth much more now.

Thank you all for kind words. 🙂

It is lovely. Maybe you could donate it to a church or charity raffle where the money will go to a good cause. You are very talented.

I'm in awe of the professionalism. The figures look wonderful.

That is so lovely Witzend, how talented you are.

Witted. That is beautiful. You are really clever. Some lucky person will love thst

That’s lovely Witzend. I hope a school will take you up on the offer. We had one very similar to it in our nursery class and the children loved it.

Beautiful work, Witzend, I would have loved a knitted Nativity set for my classroom when I taught Infants/ Early Years. So safe for the children to handle and become familiar with, learning and retelling each character's part of the Christmas Story.

I've seen some beautiful knitted sets in some of the schools I did supply teaching in before Lockdown.

Hope they find a good home.

Exquisite Witzend, it really is, you are very talented. The true meaning of Christmas.

My church craft group are raffling similar sets off from next week. Maybe a local church raffle might appreciate it.

It looks lovely to me, and I couldn't make anything like this.
