@Xaniss: THANK YOU! That's a really helpful picture, though, because it's next to a pony I have!
@Salli: I am SO ON the club for pirate ponies! I am already planning to do several more, because really, it's just too much fun, and there are so many possibilities!
I am glad you like the edging on the hat! I was really not sure I should have done it, since my sewing skills are really embarrassingly bad, but I think it looks good, if not as good as I'd hoped. I am glad it's working for other people!
@everyone: Thank you for all your kind words! It's really been a mood-booster! Y'all are so great.
I have some shiny new pinks on the way from dollyhair.com based on your suggestions, and a pretty good idea of where I want to go with it now, so y'all have been super helpful. And it is clear to me that even if she doesn't get green hair, I need to do a pirate pony WITH GREEN HAIR. Because awesome. <3
Also, I will really try to get that hat pattern done. I'd love to see what y'all do with it, and I'd really love it if someone tried it and came up with a better version, 'cause I'm not the best at that sort of thing. (Which should tell you right there it's not that hard!)
