Dala sweater

I finished this sweater a while ago, but finally got a good photo of it and G was able to practice taking portraits as we went to a few locations around town. I’m Swedish by heritage and it was fun to make a sweater with the Dala Horses on it since I’ve had at least one figurine of them on a shelf in every house I’ve lived in. This was my first time using this yarn and I really like it. I searched for a while to find the specific colors and am so glad I did as this combination works so well.
