I would very much like to buy this pattern. (87G56) I want to get started for Christmas. I am slow! The scale, animals and faces in this set are so sweet. I have a nativity pattern from Leisure Arts but am not thrilled with it. If you have seen one any where Please, let me know where to find it.

Perhaps you can find the original one you wanted on ebay.

you can usually find a copy of this on ebay...BUT they do get quite pricey..Be warned. It seems that although there are several nativity patterns out there, this is the most sought after one.. I confess I paid $40 for my booklet.. Shame on me, but I was desperate. Hope you find it.

Ladycrochat - thank you for your kind words! I truly enjoyed making this set.
I would suggest to anyone who would like this pattern to write, e-mail or call Annie's Attic customer service and request that they bring the pattern back. It is currently out of print, and it's a shame that people are having to spend exhorbitant amounts to purchase it on ebay. Please contact Annie' Attic and ask them to reissue the pattern. I see that they are currently in the process of re-releasing some older pattern booklets.
Perhaps if enough people contact them, they may be willing to reprint.

It is a beautiful set you did!
Yes e-mail Annies Attic. They brought back the Cathederal Window afghan pattern because of repeated requests for it. If they know people are willing to pay high prices on ebay, they probably will bring it back.

I am very happy. This is my first post/inquiry on a web forum and the responses are wonderful. The amiguri pattern is darling. I want to make the sets for my brother and sister. We are in our 50's. We lived in Japan in the 1960's and a lady crocheted us animals with fine wool thread, they had chop sticks wrapped with wool in the legs and they would stand by themselves. Sadly moths gobbled them up over the years. I will sure call Annie's Attic and ask them to reprint the booklet. It would be nice if so many want the pattern if more were available.

I'm glad that my booklet is finding such a great home!!! Crutchbug you sound like an awsome lady and I really didn't have the desire to sell it on Ebay cause I knew it would go up to some ridiculous price!
For anyone else who might be looking for this pattern there IS an ebay auction for it right now. So you might have a chance at it.. But asking Annie's Attic to re print it is a great idea!!
