Raising two boys, I never really get the opportunity to knit many unicorns.

So when my 7 year old niece requested one, how could I refuse? She drew me a cute little picture of a white unicorn with purple features and insisted she needed wings!

I can’t wait to see the look on her face when I get to deliver Betsy!
