Babe Ruth said, “Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!” And you know what, I think that advice can be applied to knitting and crocheting too; never let the fear of making mistakes keep you from trying a new pattern or learning a new skill.

How about a knitted baseball? Isn’t this great?

A note from designer Marcus Hartzler, “This ball is exactly what its name would suggest: a fairly accurate baseball! It uses the same two panel construction that an actual baseball uses. The combination of working the panels from the inside-out and short row shaping gives the stitching the smooth curves that are recognizable from any angle.”
