Balls!
Literally.
I’ve been knitting balls this week.
inkling has been wanting to join in with our little Nerf wars in the house, only he can’t prime a standard blaster, and the flywheel ones are too heavy for him to carry and aim at the same time. A solution has been found, in the form of a “Little Tikes blaster”.
Inkling adores it. He can load it, shoot it, and run around all at the same time. Only issue is that it came with just three balls for ammo, and that lasts all of four seconds.
So I have been knitting balls. Bright, multicoloured, balls.
And a Nerf bag for them to go in, that match his blaster, so he can join in with the rest of us when dart sweeping.
The pattern used for the balls is a free one called ‘Oh Balls!‘ by Marcie Nishioka. It’s a great pattern for using up little scraps, or in my case, wool that’s so bright and obnoxious I’m not too sure what to make with it!
Not much else to say really for this week – it’s been busy, like really busy, but not a lot to talk about it…oh! I got to play my new game, Llamas unleashed, and am now resisting the urge to knit an army of llamas, alpacas, goats and rams to match all the different artwork! So cute! Fun to play too…

I love how you use crafts so often to solve problems!
Although I think of llamas sounds like a fabulous idea…
If only all problems could be solved with crafts!
I rather think the world would be a much nicer place if we turned to wool to solve our problems!
