Horsing Around While Camp Knitting

Ta Da! Ok, so this scan doesn't do it justice, it isn't blocked, you can't tell the saddle is there because it's not blocked, etc., but I LOVE it!

The border looks much better IRL, too. I made it up! It's not perfect, but I like it. The border was laying/lying pretty flat, until I started the scallopy part of the edging; I believe it started a loose ruffling because I should have skipped going into the top of the first of each three double crochets, as the last stitch in the bigger spaces practically covered that. I liked it and kept going, though. A ruffle effect is not out of mood with a carousel horse, anyway. Next time, I'll probably skip that first double crochet, though.

Closer views at the edging:
