My second ball

Well I am so glad you guys are also snickering about the use of the word balls. It's good to know I am not the only 10-year-old at heart.

So here's my second ball. Made this up yesterday.

ball 002

This one is pattern #12. I noticed the chart differs slightly from the photo in the book. There is an extra pattern stitch in the middle of the vertical bar. I followed the chart, not the photo, and I like the extra stitch.

I have edited my Ravelry page for these guys to keep the project open for however many I knit. That's easier than making a separate project for each one.

I am digging the red & white but I might get a skein of black or blue to mix with the white also. I actually wanted blue the other day but they didn't have the right one; just navy and turquoise.

I have started the third one, from pattern #1 in the book, another snowflake. I just can't get enough balls!

One must have a pair of balls!

How heavy are your balls? Do they hang low? Do they itch?





(Ok I'll stop now.)

They do itch a little, because of the wool, but they are light and hang pretty high, being filled with polyfil.

tee hee!

Blue balls? Really?

Yes. Yes really.

Hah, you are getting pretty fabulous comments! :D

Anyway, your balls are exquisite.

I'm glad everyone likes saying "balls" as much as I do.

And thank you!

Now you have two! A full set!

I really like the pattern on this one.

Thanks! I needed a pair, didn't I?

I really like your balls. It looks like they'd hang quite well. ;-p

Thanks! I can't wait to hang my balls!
