My Crocheted Nativity Set Out for the 21st Year

[yarnjeannie]

I crocheted this set years ago when I was really missing my mom.  I remembered how she always put out a ceramic nativity set at Christmas and I saw this Annie's Attic pattern and thought I would make one for myself in her memory.  Finances got really bad when I finished it and I almost sold it to someone!  But I got a full time job out of the blue (thanks, Mom!) and I was able to keep my set.  It's 21 years old now and looks nearly as good as the day I finished it.  Not much wear and tear on it.  The camel needed some minor adjustments to keep him standing by himself.  I inserted wooden skewers into his legs and body to help him stand.  Other than that, it's in pretty good shape.

 

I love this set and wouldn't part with it now for any price.

Really beautiful job and loved the story.  I also have a nativity that I have put out every year since 1974.  Not crochet though.

I can't blame you!  That's one of the best nativity sets that I've ever seen in any medium.  Let it become the family heirloom that it should be.

Such a beautiful, sweet set for showing the reason for the season. I was touched by your story and happy for you that you got to keep it after all.
