balls

these super cute and soft balls are great for indoors, i don't even think my kids could break anything if they tried (hopefully they won't take that as a challenge!) they're three circles that intersect to make an amish puzzle ball, though there's really not much to puzzle about :).



this one's about 4 inches diameter, the bigger one, below, is about 6 inches across.



yes, i let my daughter pick the colors on the big ball... red, orange, and purple go great together when you're three! at least she picked some nice soft yarns!

 pattern from: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/patterns/crochet-amish-puzzle-ball/ i modified the little ball, but it's still essentially the same pattern, just smaller.
