Baby Blanket, week 1

I usually do not post my projects until they are complete, but I thought I would change things up for this project.

Back in early 2013, I completed a letter B dishcloth. The pattern came from a dishcloth set of the entire alphabet.  At that time, I thought that they could make a delightful baby blanket.  However,  no one in my family is expecting to have any more children.

Recently, a friend announced that she was expecting. In addition to being delighted for her, I wanted to start on a baby blanket for her.

I began by designing my project in Excel.

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.
