The Prince and his colorful cousins are each cuter than the others, and though the idea of sticking people and animals to a giant ball and then rolling them around is pretty horrific if you think about it, in Katamari, even this sort of dire torture manages to be adorable. So when you run across a Prince made of yarn, you know what you’re gonna get: soft and cuddly cuteness.

With these amigurumi projects, the faces are usually stylized, or at least crocheted like the rest, but perhaps with beads attached. Not so here; the Prince’s unique little features have been rendered in fabric and sewn on, for that extra touch. In the burgeoning crochet “market,” a crafter’s gotta do something to stand out. The katamari itself is just another bonus!

The mini rackets are a little smaller than the real deal, but the design looks much nicer than the cheapie white accessories you usually see for the Wii.

Now the thought of flailing around my living room with a tennis racket has me fearful that I’ll break a couple of lamps, my big screen TV and maybe the cat. For those of you with better coordination than me, you’ll be able to pick one up in time for the holidays for about $15.
