Here ya go, Becky, and anyone else who is interested in knitting toys and beds for their furbabies! [Love] [kitty] [Cool]

I've only made the "wontons" in this first pattern page. After the first one, I learned that if I take an old pair of pantyhose and cut it to hold the catnip, I won't find it all over my house - it tends to seep out of the holes in the knitting otherwise. I make several small bags from the legs of the hose, and tie them off before placing it into the wonton. I've given several as gifts and the kitties just LOVE them!

If you are interested in the catbed pattern, please send me a PM - it says at the bottom of the pattern not to post it anywhere on the web without her permission, but also says that one can share it with friends, so I think it would be better done privately.

Enjoy - can't wait to see your pics!

Here's a picture of the catnip bed in progress - you can see the triangles forming, and it was so much easier to make than the first one I made on round needles - for me, anyway!
