icky catnip bun

A couple of weeks ago I knitted the catnip steamed bun from this pattern. My yarn was thicker so it came out rather big. Jake instantly went bonkers and became very possessive of it and started to destroy it so these are the only decent photos I got. The loose stitch in the third photo... well, that's Jake's fault.

What a great idea! Jake looks very happy with his toy. You have more patience that I do. I'd make it and be scared to let the cat play with for fear it would get ruined..

that is so awesome, i love it! it reminds me of the time i wanted to make a knitted dim sum set but never did... do you have a pattern? yeah, jake does look really happy with it, i guess that is the important thing right? :)

Yeah, though I could probably toss him a sock filled with catnip and he'd be just as happy. The pattern's linked from the post... I think the patternmaker was actually inspired by the knitted dim sum patterns on knitty. It was a quick knit and the yarn I got on sale so fortunately I wasn't too attached to it :).

oh, wow! that's looks so yummy and pretty too. the yarn texture gives a that fluffy steamy look. mmm, i could go for one of those. jake is so cute playing with it. cats are a source of endless entertainment.
