UPDATE: Nancy got to meet Madge, her new pony last night! I could blather about her reaction, but a picture's worth a thousand as they say. And this will give you a much better sense of scale too.



Mission Accomplished. And a rousing success also, too.

Absolutely perfect! I'd say she's happy all right!

Mission accomplished indeed! That's awesome! Hopefully the pony and the memory of that night will help her in her journey to keep off cigarettes!

Who could ask for more?

I understand you on the patterns that require a lot of sewing. I don't like all that crafty stuff very well. Madge is great. Her neck could probably be a bit longer, but her hindquarters are super. Love her mane and tail and the "feathers". Good plan for your friend.

Nancy's reaction made it all worth while!!

A friend of mine suspects that most knitted toy patterns are adapted from sewing patterns, and that's why all the sewing. I did find some (after the fact) that don't (appear to) involve as MUCH sewing, so I'll likely explore those before doing anything like this again unless I have a definite design in mind.

But for all that, the response she got was all that really mattered.

Great story! (and pics). You are a good friend.
