Juggling Balls
A blissful day in the shed today, finishing more things to take to this little craft fair next weekend - my first outing as a maker of things. Today I made little drawstring bags for the sets of juggling balls I made last week. Each ball is felted around a golf ball for weight, then tied into a pair of old tights and washed in the machine with the jeans. The golf ball gives them a good shape and they feel nice and heavy to juggle with - only wish I could juggle!
thoughts please?
wish I could juggle too than I could justify buying a set - they look so wonderfully tactile and the colour combos work very well together in the little sets.

Beautiful! I love, love, love the vibrant colors.

I think these are wonderful, lovely clour combinations, would be a joy just to take the balls out of the bags and look at them - guess that's because I can't juggle either.

Lovely job, I love the colours, I would think £5 would not be out of the way to ask.

I'm not sure how much I would pay, as I have no idea how much time went into them. Maybe $15? Are you selling them?

They're cool, I'll tell Matt to look and give his professional juggling opinion. Lovexxxxxxxxxx

They are tremendous. Good luck as a maker of things. (I don't think you will need it though)

thank you for the positive comments everyone - I have been frantically making all sorts of things for saturday - the shed looks like an explosion in a fabric factory!

Good luck Saturday!

Matt wants some samples to test jugglability, if you haven't sold them all on saturday send some down with dad and we'll test them out. I can do the grand total of 4 passes so will give it a go too. lovexxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Martha! tell me what colour you want - if you number them left to right and top to bottom - 2 and 6 have gone.
Love you

I juggle and do a little knitting. What pattern did you use?
