We are moving quickly through the figures and are making the visitors who are kneeling, a Shepherd and a Wise Man. You should have already make the cloak and bag for the kneeling wise man yesterday as indicated. However,  if you only made one of each yesterday, you can get the patterns here.

    Hi Bethany,
    What did you use for the Shepherds wooden stick thing? Sorry no idea what it is called. A staff?

    Thanks, Aires

      Hi Aires! I used a small bit of 12 gauge wire and bend it to look like a crook.

    Good Morning,

    I have a question for you. On the Kneeling Visitor/Shepard there appears in the picture to be a satchel or something opposite side of the crook, and I couldn’t find the pattern for that portion. It is a satchel? or something else I’m seeing?
