This is neat! Nun figurine

[darski]

Reflecting what the creator says... I am not a catholic either so maybe this is not as neat as I think but I like it

Yet another of Rachel's finds for us.

 

I know some people who would like to have one of these and if you made it in respect and love, it shouldn't be a problem... should it?

[TonkaMama]

I like it, and I do not think it's disrespectful. Three of my aunts are nuns (although they no longer wear the habit), so seeing something like this reminds me of them. The rosary is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

I tried to view the pic but the link wouldn't work can you post again?

it says the data transfer limit has been exceeded that means that rachel and darski made it way too popular....you have to try again later, reposting the link won't do any good.

Yeah, oops!

 

(I found that link on one of my desperate-for-new-links crawls. I type in a generic term (think "hat" or "square" or "fridige") in my database and pressed search. A huge list of links pop up and I look through them and say "hmm, this site may have added a new pattern since I last visited" and click "open in new tab" (yeah, I'm a Mozilla Firefox lover). A lot of times I don't find anything, but sometimes (like in this case) it works!)

It took a bit to get in and see it but I think this is really cute and would make a very nice gift.

[cat3crazy]

It's done really nicely. I'm not Catholic either but I do know some one that is and she might like it.

[oliveoil]

Yeah, oops!

Hi Rachel, I'm still trying to get used to Mozilla Firefox!! I had never heard of this, so I was really skeptical. I like it now!!

I love it. And the rosarys too. I'm catholic and my moms sister is a nun, a Religous Sister of Mercy, RSM. I'd love to make this. One for me and at least one if not a few more for my auntie and for the convent she stays in. I'm sure the nuns there would love it. And yes, made with alot of respect and love would not be any problem at all. Thanks again for the pattern.

She looks great !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

I think she's beautiful! Very original and I know several people who would love this.Thanks for sharing. I'm printing as we speak! Happy Holidays.

[cjansen]

I finally saw it! very nice

[LittleJadeFrog]

I love it! I am not Christian, but my kids are and they are Catholic as well as their dad and his family. This might be perfect for when they are old enough to appreciate it.

 

Thanks for the link!

I love the nun doll! Darski, I think it would be a wonderful gift for the folks you have in mind. The rosary is beautiful, too.

I always had nun dolls (not crocheted, though) growing-up. I still have one of them on display.

I'm not Catholic, but I think it's neat. MY dad's cousin in Canada is a nun (50 yrs I think) and in all the photos she looks like that. I've never met her personally, so I wouldn't recognize her any other way (LOL). Some of the older nuns dress like that in Boston, but the younger ones wear shorter outfits (below the knee) with the black head piece, but not the white around the face.

Hi , I am not catholic, either, but I think that is awesome...marjie

[Ladycrochat]

Speaking from a Catholic point of view, I think it is really neat and not in the least "disrespectful"! Thanks for sharing!

[CrisKad]

I'm Catholic and I love it! I know lots of Catholic families that have nun/religious dolls for their kids to play with. Since we go to mass every week, religious figures are a part of our everyday lives and kids like to act that out with dolls, just like with anything else they know...like firemen and policemen.

 

I think this is really cute!

[YarnFreak]

She's adorable!!! Remind of the friar/monk my nana made when I was little.
