Not sure how long it will hold though.<br />Pipe-cleaners covered in i-chord might be safer, but will also look a bit thicker.madhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775956472143538953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-40331722718766080462014-01-06T09:24:27.862-07:002014-01-06T09:24:27.862-07:00Cat, thanks for your comments.

I did it free-style and it turned out quite well. <br />I wrote down a kind-off pattern for the sheep, if ever you want it. The legs are pieces of pipe cleaner covered in a length of i-chord. A bit fiddly, but not too hard.madhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775956472143538953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-42159333077255565912014-01-06T07:23:28.421-07:002014-01-06T07:23:28.421-07:00You're welcome!

Glad you like the patterns. :) The easies...Hi Muna! Glad you like the patterns. :) The easiest way to share a photo would be to upload it to a photo hosting site like photobucket or flickr. When you upload a photo there, they will give you a web address/URL for the photo which you can post in a comment here. Like this:<br /><br />http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o320/lucy_edward/nativity2.jpg<br /><br />We'll have to copy and paste the link to view it but it still works!<br /><br />I plan on doing about one new doll each year so it will be a while before all the patterns are here! I am making them for my family as Christmas gifts so I usually design and make them in December, which is a busy month already so I may not get the new pattern up until January.<br /><br />But if you are in a hurry to finish off your nativity, you don't have to wait on me to make more patterns. You can make a body for any of the other figures in the nativity by using the basic head, body and arm pattern from Mary and changing the colors and decorations to fit. For example, give the doll a beard and it become Joseph, give it wings and a halo and it becomes an angel, give it a crown and it's a wise man or a staff and it's a shepherd! Really from now on that is all I will be doing, just redecorating the basic body pattern to make new figures!<br /><br />Good luck! I will email you this info too in case you missed this comment. :)Cat Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193769212437249345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-69949690471140391612010-11-27T02:58:30.431-07:002010-11-27T02:58:30.431-07:00Hi Cathy, I am muna from pakistan, and after nearl...Hi Cathy, I am muna from pakistan, and after nearly 20 years of crocheting i discovered amigurumi!!!! and am now addicted. your Mary and Baby Jesus were the first ones i made.
