About 3 years ago, I bought this lovely pink and blue sparkly wool. My daughter asked if I can make her a unicorn with it, so thats what I started to make, But then as I was near half way through she asked me to turn it into a cat. It is not my best pattern, but it still turned out really cute and my daughter still loves it now.
