I Believe in Unicorns

Have you noticed that unicorns are a thing once again? Back in the late 80s/early 90s they were a thing. I had a roommate in university who collected them. She had so many figurines and posters and wind chimes and mugs and you name it - she had a unicorn plastered on it. So much so that I kinda began to resent the mythical buggers. 

I work in retail so I sometimes notice trends starting to creep back. I was not prepared for unicorns to once again become a thing. I was still harbouring resentments from the unicorn clutter of the 90s. These newer unicorns are different. They’re cuter. They’re sassier. 

My good friend Debbie has a six year old granddaughter who loves unicorns.  Mia is also a good friend of my grandson Reagan. I found a bunch of really cool unicorn patterns on Ravelry. So many cool and cute things to make. I couldn’t resist crocheting this sweet little headband. 

She put it on right away when I gave it to her today. I should have taken a photo of her wearing it. Instead you’ll have to settle for a photo of Finn wearing it. He’s pretty special. (I have two new puppies! More about them in a later post)
