I can't believe we are already fast approaching the holiday season. Our church's holly fair is next Saturday. I pulled out some odds and ends of yarn that I have in my stash and whipped up some cute candy cane ponies (
Candy Cane Pony Pattern from Hollinger's Fiber Farm ) to sell at the fair. This years herd of ponies are of the pastel/painted variety. Not at all realistic looking color wise, but I do think they resemble the "my little ponies" of yester-year!
They were fun to make. They are all a little different. No two are alike. I made a dozen ponies with
Brach's Candy Canes made with real peppermint oil, plus 4 were made with candy cane pens that I bought last year after Christmas.
Check out my ponies:
They are super easy and fun to make. Great use for odds and ends of yarn. Click here find out more about my
candy cane ponies.
happy knitting :)

These ponies are delightful and will no doubt bring smiles to their new owners.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I've never seen a candy cane pony before.
ReplyDeleteI remember these from last year. I thought they were cute then and I still think they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThose ponies are ADORABLE!! It's really a clever pattern.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how the year has flown by, either. We decided to free ourselves from the commercial side of the holidays though so there's no rush here. :D
Hope the folks up your way are fully recovered from Sandy.
Have a great week!
These are so delightful! What a clever creation for the church holiday fair! I hope you do well with them, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI remember how much I loved these last year when you and your sister? made them. I remember thinking I should/would practice working with DPN's so that I could make some this year....oophs never got that done. I'm sure they'll be a hit.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute!
ReplyDeleteGrandkids love 'em, too! ;-)

ReplyDeletePopping in one more time. If you ever get to blogging again, please let me know. I feel like I'm stalking you, so will stop checking in; but am indeed interested to re-connect should you get back to blogging.
ReplyDeleteHi Hakucho - I meant to make these last year but ran out of time. I just made my first two - and I can definitely say I'll be making more of these. Thanks for the super cute pattern. Hope all is well!
