Gráinne's handmade Crib Of Peace rekindles special family memories
Gráinne Townsend's Crib of Peace was added to over several years to include a message of tolerance and diversity.
Gráinne Townsend was a skilled needleworker before glaucoma robbed her of 70% of her close vision and one of her most cherished passions. But this Christmas, one of her creations has come out of storage and is on display for all to see.
That creation is a collection of almost 50 crochet figures (each at approximately nine inches in height) making up a very special Nativity scene — complete with animals from across the world and figures representing various nationalities and religions.
