The Myfanwy And Friend Advent Calendar - Day Twenty Four

Where a silly artist reframes the nativity through the eyes of a knitted chicken and friend.

And with that we're done. Thank you for joining on me on this advent adventure.

(More impressed with myself than I should be that I didn't miss a day)

Image based on "The Nativity at Night" by Geertgen tot Sint Jans, painted around 1490, which shows the infant Christ, a pocket of light in the darkness, lying in the manger, watched over by Mary, Joseph and angels (another angel is visible as a bright light in the sky beyond). But this edited version is the culmination of the Myfanwy (large teal knitted chicken) and Friend (simple drawn figure) advent calendar series, so the crib contains a ball of teal wool, with Myfanwy taking the place of the mother looking down, face lit up by the light. Behind her in the dark is a knitted person holding a sheep. In the bottom right hand corner is a knitted Yule goat. On the left is another knitted person and a knitted angel, half out of frame, looking on admiring the wool. Friend is behind the crib, hands pressed together.
You definitely deserve extra wine and cake rations. Nice work getting the Gävle Goat in there too.
