Baseball and bat

A friend in New York had a baby recently and they are mad Yankees fans so I thought I would make their little guy a little bat and ball.
Only problem was my family was hit with ongoing bad health so this was a very slow process that was only finished a week ago. Hopefully it arrives soon enough.
It was based on a caricature pattern for a baseball and bat but I didn't add the caps and faces as I wanted it just to be a bat and ball.
I tried stitching little arrowed red stitches for the ball which I had mixed success with - hopefully they don't think that it is too rubbish.
I also only had light brown in a thicker weight yarn to that of the white so I used an average hook between the two. I think it worked out.
I thought that as so many of my tracking stats come from America as well as Australia (and a few in Europe too) that I should put this up as there may be others interested.
