Hooooo boy was this felt a pain in the ass. I didn’t have any of the blue color for rainbow dash when I was instructed by my dad to make her, and I didn’t have enough time to order any more, so I had to settle for going to walmart and trying to find some yarn that matched her color. This was as close as I got, but it’s for a 7 year old so I doubt she’d really care that much. The dilemma is that yarn is way cheaper than roving, which is a bit ironic because yarn has to go through the added processing of being spun. However, yarn, especially this cheap yarn, is SO DAMN HARD TO UNRAVEL. I spent just as much time unraveling this yarn as I did putting it on the damn pony. And the good yarn that is easy to unravel and is all fluffy and stuff only comes in dark or earthy tones since it’s usually meant for scarves and hats. And it’s more expensive. If only I could buy the wool straight from the yarn companies. That would be amazing, because then the stuff would be, like, 50cents an ounce.Anyway…It’s a funny story how the decision came to make these ponies for those girls. My dad’s best friend in the world (his name is Burak) had recently moved back to Turkey, and so they were planning on making him a care package (mostly full of alcohol and cigars, but what can you do) when my dad once again brought up how any grown man that likes ponies is insane. I tried arguing with him that it is only society that says men can’t like cute colorful things and that it’s a good show and such, but then he shot back this example:Burak’s twin daughters love My Little Pony and wanted to make the ponies out of clay. They are 7 so of course they couldn’t figure out how to do it themselves, so their mom googled, god knows why, “Making Ponies”. Yes. That is what she googled. I have no earthly idea why she didn’t google “how to make ponies out of clay” or even “making clay ponies” but no. Just “making ponies”. Also apparently the safe search was off, so they got an image page full of pony porn. Those poor girls. I won the argument when I told my dad that there was the nastiest, most fetishist porn of every single movie and tv show he likes, so there are horny nut jobs in every fandom. Long story short the girls didn’t have pony toys or wanted better ones than the plastic ones you can buy so I made them their favorites. They haven’t gotten them yet so I sincerely hope they like them.
