And Then It Was Done

It was finished last Monday the 29th in the evening. 

The finishing went easily. I was rather expecting something to go wrong. I attached the horn and tacked down the front of the mane (although that part happened Sunday night). 

I rather like how the pink horn works with the black hat and purple and light blue mane. You don't really seek the sparkly of the yarn I ordered from Denmark, but I assume under lights it should shine. 

The last bit, that I did Monday night, was to add the braids down by the ear flaps. I had been worried about this part as I was to use the hat yarn and the mane yarn, but I was just about out of mane yarn. (That is, the purple. I still had plenty of the blue.) 

In the end, through a misreading of the instructions, I ended up making the ear flap braids half the thickness from the pattern's pictures. But I rather like them this thin. And, this was all the purple I had. 

So, it's done. Now all that's left is packing this up and mailing it off.

  3. That looks fantastic! I have zero talent. The most creative thing I ever made was an ashtray made with popsicle sticks and Elmer's Glue at summer camp.

  7. That looks awesome! I like size of the braids you did. It seems like they'd be out of proportion to the mane if they were much thicker.

    1. Double the size. Yeah, they looked a bit thick in the example pics, so I'm happy with them as I did them.
