I posted recently about crocheting an outfit for a stuffed koala. We gave the koala to a friend’s daughter. She has recently started crocheting after having learnt it at school quite some time ago. She showed me her ‘nativity set’ and I’ll share it here. All the major characters are included as well as three sheep, a camel, ox and donkey. I thought they were just lovely.
Her latest project is an afghan rug made of a number of different patterned squares. She has a book of patterns and I was able to help her interpret some of the more difficult patterns. She now has about 30 patterns made - and only needs another 90!

My grandma used to crochet a lot when I was a kid.

@teamfreak16 We had a sea-faring friend who used to knit but only scarves. He said he never learnt how to cast off so he ended up with a very long scarf.

@JudyEv - Rosie Greer, who played American football for the Los Angeles Rams in the 70's did it. A big tough guy.

Wow!! This is Cute. I wish I had the patience and could make something like this, as I am sure it would be a Good money maker and hit. The afghan sounds quite creative as well.

She enjoyed doing the nativity scenes. I'm not sure it is really my 'thing'.

i noticed the sheeps immediately, but wasn't sure about the animals at the back. it's like she awakened a dormant talent at the rate she's going.

Wow. I love learning new things. How I wish I could learn crocheting too. I really think it's very creative. And for me it's good if you're skilled in this craftmaking most especially if you want to give personalized gifts to your loved ones

Your friends daughter did an amazing job on those!!! I would love a set of them for under my tree! I have a feeling the set (porcelain) won't be used this year as my youngest is a toddler who doesn't like the word no. I'd hate to have them break since they were my mom's.

Best to keep your porcelain set for a few more years. It would certainly be a shame to break any of them.

I think I ran out of things to crochet. Anything practical that is.

It's much better 'winging' crochet than knitting. Much easier to pull some out and start off again if you have to.
