Horses! I am back making Horses with a vengeance! Obsessed. That.s me! I was working on a magic scarf on Friday and I found this pink novelty yarn that was given to me by my friend Morna and it called out to me - Make me into a Horse's mane! I went into my stash and I found some chocolate colored wool and llama yarn and I made a horse with PINK feet and I used the pink yarn mixed with some mohair and some rainbow colored yarn, for the mane. I think she came out cute!
Not sure what to name her. usually the animals I make start to develop a personality and a name as I make them. This one has personality, but I have not come up with a good name for her. Maybe I will just call her Pink..... hmmm. boring. She's not dull, so I don't think that will work. I just took another good look at her and I think I will name her Truffle! She looks like a chocolate/raspberry truffle!! :-)
Then, I had to start ANOTHER horse! I had some bulkier yarn and I wanted to make one with that. It is super, super soft - maybe some cashmere in it - and it is a self striping shades of brown. It is almost done as I have worked a bit more on it since taking the pictures, but I will finish tomorrow and take another picture. I made a smaller - pony - version. This one looks like a surfer dude, so I may name him Ocean, or Kai. Let me know what you think!

I love the pink mane. I'm still looking for a unicorn from someone.
