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.
Knit Guinea Pig
When Stana asked me to test knit this cute guy, I jumped at the chance. She designed him after her daughter’s guinea pig, so the knit has a few personal touches to reflect the real pet.
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.

A Parliament
Merriam Webster defines parliament as a “the group of people who are responsible for making the laws in some kinds of government.” They seem to have forgotten that a group of owls is also known as a parliament. I could really ramble on about the irony of the “wise old owl” and any part of government, but I will not.
