I just finished knitting this cat basket for my boys.

It's made from wool so it's lovely and warm. They love it!

Wow, that is awesome! Did you buy the pattern or make one up yourself? Either way it is very nice. I am wondering what size needle and weight yarn you used to make this? The cats look like they love it! =^..^=

Thanks all! It is my own design and I have to say it took me ages to get it right. Needles are 15mm and 20mm double pins, 6 of each size, all 40cm long. Good luck trying to find these as I just could not and ended up having them specially made. The yarn is a heavy weight semi-felted wool which comes in a 2kg cone, also not that easy to find. I managed to get some at the Knitting show in Harrogate last year.
