Witzend Why are you so averse to selling it? there are loads on Ebay and people sell them on Etsy too. The better knitted ones can command a much higher price too. Then you can donate the money to a charity of your choice (or even to your GC's School. I myself knitted one a few years ago. I added an angel, a donkey and a camel. However I put wire armatures in mine so I could bend the arms so not suitable as toys. I sold mine for £60.00. I have since seen them sell for over £100. I started another set last year but I am no where near finishing it. I know how much work is involved with these so don't sell yourself short! Here a a few pictures of mine.
Recalled for a further appointment after a routine mammogram
