More Cat Toys

Because the cats can't have too many toys, I knit some more.

Again, this is J&S Shetland wool knit on #6 needles.

This is something that I made up as I went along. I cast on a few stitches, did a bunch of increases and then some decreases. This is the result. The inside in polyester fiberfill.

These have a plastic ball inside. The plastic ball has a bell.

This was an experiment with something like double knitting. I'd knit one row with one color (half the stitches) and the next row with the opposite color and the other half of the stitches.

I basically stopped when I got bored. This didn't take very long. This was k3, turn, k3, co3, turn, k6, co3, turn, etc until I had 18 total stitches with 9 in either direction. Then I'd switch colors.

This is something like a pumpkin/holiday toy. The cat likes it...I think. He seems to be momentarily distracted by something else.
