I was cleaning out my computer files, and realized that I did not share this guy with you.

Cupcakes anyone?
I have been playing around lately with knit play food. I was fortunate to find a free pattern on Maiya Knits for a simple cupcake.
Armed with some scraps of yarn, a set of #5 dpns, and some fiber filling, I was able to knit this in one evening.
I did adjust the pattern slightly. I opted to leave off the face as I was looking for something a little more realistic than cartoonish. I also did not knit the cupcake liner that was included in the pattern. I decided that it was great without and now I can knit something else.

Juggling Balls
As a mother, I constantly feel like I am juggling many plates. There are so many things that need my attention and everyone feels their item is more important than anyone else’s. This is a problem most of my friends experience at some point in their life. However, I have no solution to offer you. If you are in a season of life where the juggling seems hard, know that you are not alone and one day this season will end.
Juggling the plates of motherhood is not where I was headed with this post, and I’m not sure exactly where it came from. Rather… I wanted to share with you a set of juggling balls I knitted for my son. He has managed to teach himself how to juggle by reading a book that came with an inexpensive set of balls he received a few Christmas’s ago. He has gone through two sets of balls, but they do not seem to last. I decided I would knit him a set that will hopefully last longer. With tomorrow being World Juggling Day, it seemed the perfect time to share these.
Peppy the Penguin
Introducing Peppy the Penguin!
I knitted this guy up just before Christmas using #6 needles and some yarn in my stash. He came out taller than I expected at almost 7 inches, but was worth the effort. My favorite feature is the little feet that allow him to stand on his own.
If you would like to knit up a cute penguin, the pattern can be found here.
