It is with great joy and relief that I proudly announce the arrival of the long-awaited horse. Thing 173 is a promise fulfilled and a total-pain-in-the-neck completed.
The pattern, in case anyone is not deterred by my anti-crochet-horse bias, is here. It’s free, it’s cute and it’s made up of nine pieces plus mane and tail. And that’s without the saddle, bridle and reins. You have been warned.
I used a 3.5mm hook and worsted weight acrylic. The mane and the tail are made with the last of some flecked off-white yarn in my stash.
I packaged up the promises, hot-glued a ribbon on each, and Martina will take them to school tomorrow.
She has been given careful instructions. If anyone asks for a horse or a panda she is to say no, not in this lifetime. A sheep? Well, maybe.
Cost of this Thing: 0
Cost of all Things to date: €199.62
What if I ask you to make me a zebra or a unicorn?
I guess I don’t love you enough. Sorry.
Totally worth the effort! Love it!
Yeah, at least the end result was good. Still won’t make another, though…
I want a centipede!
No. Just no.
okay Honey!
Love the mane and tail on the horse! 🙂
