Alan Dart Knitting Art

I've just stumbled onto knitting art in the form of pattern designer Alan Dart. He's designed five patterns of cats; most places seem to be sold out of booklets and/or kits, OR they're selling far outside my price range on eBay and eBay UK.

Does anyone have Siamese, Tabby, Ginger, or bunny in their pattern libraries?! We MUST urge him to write more books!

BTW: The Victoria and Albert Museum has circus animal patterns on their website. I believe I saw that someone was interested in knit toys.

There is a new "book" - Irresistible Gifts to Knit, available through the Simply Knitting website. I just ordered it - ~$26US inc. shipping. It's supposed to have a number of his pamphlets included. I wish I had the full list. I could stop bidding on eBay! Wow, the prices get high!

Be sure to check out the patterns of Hansi at Hansigurumi on Etsy. She has designed a whole group of sea creatures that are amazing: octopus, jellyfish, seahorse, nudibranch, squid, starfish, as well as an amazingly cute baby elephant. She's wonderful.
