Phew, finally finished my stable!

That's really lovely!

It's lovely! You must have so much patience - as well as talent!

Did you knit the figures as well?
it is lovely

Witzend. That is lovely. You are clever, well done.

Witzend that is really amazing, well done! You will be able to bring it out every Christmas for years to come, your DGC will be delighted.

Beautiful

Thank you all for kind comments.
ILovecheese, yes, I did knit them - extremely simple patterns from Jean Greenhowe - I can't do complicated patterns. The stuffing and sewing up were a bit more of a fiddle but her meticulously detailed instructions made it quite straightforward.

So cute! The tiny lambs and little baby Jesus are gorgeous!

Well done Witzend, a true labour of love which has turned out beautifully!

That looks great Witzend well done, I did notice the whisky decanter bottle but didn't like to say anything!! Expect you will be reluctant to store it away once Christmas festivities are over.

That's lovely Witzend, well done.

I haven't finished knitting yet …..

Have you got much more to do, Jalima?

Just beautiful , you are very talented xxx

Lovely display! If you have GC they will love it!

I am ploughing through the second king Witzend - one more king and a few beards and crowns etc! The kings may arrive on 12th night and not before then.
There's all the sewing up to do as well.

That is so lovely witzend you must be so talented (and patient).

and patient
Yes, definitely! I'm fast losing patience with mine!

Oh Jalima are you knitting a nativity too? So many talented, crafty people on GN. I’m so jealous.

It's lovely Witzend! So cute! Well done you!

You have inspired me to order some of the knitting pamphlets. Thank you. I haven't picked up my knitting needles in years. Last thing I made was an aran cardigan for my then three year old. She is now 35!

I shall try and knit a few of the cute little figures in the new year and perhaps work my way up to the Nativity scene before next December.

Brilliant Witzend. I love it! I recently bought a very similar knitted nativity set in a charity shop. Tbe GCs love it especially baby Jesus who looks like a small finger with a face ?. I keep finding him in strange places and have to pop him back into his manger. I wish I could produce something like this but far too fiddly for me. Admiration for all you talented knitters!

Ha, Marmight , my Gdd (3) loved baby Jesus so much on a recent visit, I have made an extra with manger to give her. I think Gds (2) will like the donkey best, so I'm fully expecting his legs - stiffened with plastic drinking straws! - to suffer multiple fractures within a few hours! Gds is still very much at the chucking/bashing everything stage.

???

Marmight!! why am I struggling on, should have trawled the charity shops
I made Jesus and manger etc last year as part of a group project, the worst thing was stitching his face.

Be warned Day6 - they're not that tiny! Apart from Baby Cheeses (as someone on another thread said, quoting her DGS).
