i'd like you to become a famous the cat patron...

it's that simple - i want my bags walking around with people all over the country. is that too much to ask? so far, i know they live with patrons in bloomington, in; chicago, il; denver, co; new york, ny; indianapolis, in; toronto, canada; and san francisco, ca. don't you want one to walk your town, displayed proudly on your arm/hand, too? i thought so.

i'm a little too lazy at the moment to do measurements and such, but i'll do my best with descriptions here. you can also click on the extra picture links to get a view of me holding each bag to get a better idea on size. and, of course, leave a comment if you want more detail on any specific bags.

on to the show! all are handknitted with different wool yarns, then thrown in the washing machine to get them to felt up. end product = nice, sturdy tote or purse for you to haul a lot or a little around. cool? cool!
