Knitted Nativity

Here's a a couple pictures of my latest project: a knitted nativity.  I'm actually designing the whole thing myself, so I'm just making it up as I go along.  I'm planning to write up the pattern after I finish.  So far I'm really happy with how it's turning out.  I've just made Mary and Jesus, but soon I'll have pictures of the manger too.  It doesn't look quite as cute in the pictures as it does in real life, though.
