Cross-Eyed Cat Scores Big With Hand Knit Crafts Business

Oregon residents are raving about a cat named Teva whose entrepreneurial spirit has made waves in the local community. Her company, Cross Stitch – a quirky play on her eye condition – features an array of different products including blankets, scarves, mittens, and beanies. 

Andrea Wixler, a local resident and mother of four, told The Fluffington Post, “Cross Stitch makes the coziest mittens. My kids have a pair in every color!” Wixler is just one of hundreds of loyal customers who swear by Teva’s products. 

The kitty’s line was recently picked up by Angie’s, a clothing store in downtown Portland.  “We pride ourselves on supporting local businesses,” said owner Angela Langley, “so we’re thrilled to have Cross Stitch products on our shelves.” 

Before starting her company, Teva worked in the competitive gaming industry, but excessive play with a laser pointer left her cross eyed. After the incident, she took a leap of faith, abandoning the high-stakes, big money world of the “red dot” in order to pursue her true passion: yarn.
