Baby's First Football

On Super Bowl Sunday, while the kids were rooting for Green Bay Packers, I sat knitting a cool football for a fellow Etsian , http://www.etsy.com/shop/NattyKnits . You can even visit her blog here: http://nattyknitter.wordpress.com/

She wanted someone to try out her "Baby's First Football" pattern and I volunteered.
It was a fun experience, I've had limited experience with contour knitting and this was really a great learning experience for me.

Later in the evening, as the Packers were winning, my kids too started playing with the recently knitted ball. It's not their "First Football", but it sure is their "First Knitted Football".

Now looking at the ball I think I should have added a few more white stitches......Maybe next time !!!
