I finished the zombie socks, but I want to do a proper post when I've finished the reading. Now my attention has turned to ponies.

My daughter's 3rd birthday is coming up, and I've given in to the birthday party pressure. We've booked a party at Gymboree; it's semi-educational, inside away from heat and rain, and no more expensive than anything else. And since adults *must* wear socks for cleanliness purposes, I *must* knit myself a pair.



The yarn is from Storied Yarns Percy Jackson and the Olympians Monsters collection, Party Ponies colorway. (Okay, the Party Ponies were centaurs, not unicorns, but no one cares.) I chose a spiral pattern evocative of unicorn horns.

I'm also crocheting her a pony for her actual birthday. I had started doing a fat unicorn from a toy book I own, but I hated the shape of it. This one will be much cuter.
