crocheted nativity set???

[yarnlover66]

Has anyone ever made this? If so, can you post a picture. There is no picture with the directions. I'm really curious how this set looks. Might be a cool CAL??? Just a thought.

Even with out a picture I think this is neat. I have seen directions for sets that were not complet. I think I will do baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph this year and add to it as the years go on.

i have a full set of directions somewhere teresa, will see if i can find them and send you the magazine with them in it, i think i have doubles anyways:D

[yarnlover66]

that's a good idea rcvanilla. Please post pics.

mythunderbird: is it possible to let us know which magazine the pattern is in?

 

I've just put this set on my to do list

The Annie's Attic version can often be found on eBay. Here's one example on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Crochet-Craft-Nativity-Birth-of-Christ-Booklet_W0QQitemZ220030449248QQihZ012QQcategoryZ41232QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. (There is no photo of the back cover of this pattern booklet, but there are several more animals, including a darling camel.) Usually the auctions go through the roof and there's one seller asking for over $50 for buy-it-now.

 

I've seen other versions on eBay but Annie's Attic's seems to be the most popular. If you download the photo from the eBay auction, you'll have it in front of you when you crochet the pieces from the directions you have.....

You think that the directions I found on line for free are the same ones from Annie's Attic?

Mine is knitted, but I have been looking for an ox to go with my set. Thanks for the web site.

Sounds like a nice set.

I have to get ready for my mom's birthday party tomorrow, so I won't have time to sit down and try one of the pieces. If someone does....I sound like a broken record...please post a pic!

That is a great idea. Can't wait to see the pic!!!

Have you had a chance to make this yet? I've been dying to make one ever since I saw one on my aunt's coffee table several years ago. I've looked at this pattern and it seems to be missing Mary's arms and legs, and a lot of the other instructions tell you to refer back to Mary's instructions. I'm a little hesitant to try making up a pattern for the arms and legs; have you had any luck? Thanks!

It has possibliities (and pictures!); thanks. I think the other one is slightly bigger, but I might just have to give this one a try.

Great Link Darski:yes ! I think I will have to print this out and make it!!! Thanks for passing it along!

[darski]

Oh, sorry. I really thought this might be it. Especially when I saw teh Ox pattern.

Ah well, the search goes on.

I'll be moving as soon as the house is sold and am already packing up "extraneous" stuff--translation 50 years work of magazines of fiber arts. Plus inherited books and leaflets, plus ones that I still had when I closed the store.

 

They're packed away so it won't be this holiday season, but I've got at least 5 crocheted nativities and 3, I think, knitted ones. They've been around since at least the sixties.

 

I haven't seen it for a while (years) but I had a nativity set that used Barbie and Ken back when in outfits. There's at least 3 or 4 in plastic canvas too.
