Horse/ bunny/ heart sweater done!

I finished my horse sweater! I decided to go all whimsical and playful  and added bunnies and hearts around the collar and some gingerbread trimmings along sleeves and neck opening.  I am very satisfied with the end result and will definitely be wearing this warm luxury Alpaca and wool sweater during the coming cold winter.

 On the backside of the sweater I added a little bow on one of the horses, always fun with some unexpected detail.

I am knitting this horse sweater inspired by Tove Janssons flower horses. The horses look a little chubby but it kind of fits its sympathetic character. I was considering turning them into cows at one point when they were far from resembeling horses, but with some adjustments while knitting I think I got them to look like horses.

 

 

I am using different alpaca and wool yarns in violet, blue and lilac colors.
