#tbt to the second-best Christmas present I ever gave my Dad (the family joke is that the first was a copy of the film Witness on DVD, to which he responded with pure joy ... he really likes Witness you guys π) One of the priests at Dadβs church is a collector of nativities, and for the last few years heβs put his collection of more than 500 cribs on display at the church to raise money for charity. Itβs a remarkable collection, and attending the exhibition has become one of my favourite Christmas traditions. Dad once said that the knitted nativities were the ones he liked best, so in 2014 I decided he should have one of his own. The pattern is Sarah Gasson's Christmas Nativity Collection, and the lamb is taken from Jean Greenhowe's Christmas Crib. Very satisfying to make up and everyone who comes to the house loves it! :) #knitting #christmasknitting #christmascrafting #christmascrib #nativity #sarahgasson #jeangreenhowe #finishedobject #poinsettia https://www.instagram.com/p/BrlqAtYjCtK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fn6ratxcx5t1
