Ooh, someone joined the STR socks club! The miniskein is just awesome! I love all the action shots of Chaos, too funny!
It’s always nice when you get to meet knitbloggers in person. It’s such a great experience. I love the Monica Ferris mysteries set in Excelsior. I was wondering why it sounded familiar.
My box arrived yesterday and after I opened it, I closed it back up and left it on the dining room table to show to Dale when he got home. Mason went over and opened the box himself and pulled out the big skein and tried to walk off with it. How is it that our cats recognize good quality sock yarn?!?
I hid my mini-skein as soon as it arrived. I have technically 5 yarn theives in the house between cats and kids. Now, if I can only remember where I put it…
Chris – I actually thought about Chaos when I saw that emergency STR key chain……..not kidding.
It could be because the package that I opened right before the STR box was the package from you – with the blue square! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you let Chaos keep the mini-skein?
Cute! I’m glad Chaos has a new toy. My husband loves the pictures too. Unfortunetly, I couldn’t afford membership, so I’ll have to live vicarouisly through everyone who could.
Ooooo–the STR club–I’m envious/jealous and happy for you at the same time 🙂 I’m just glad Chaos didn’t take a liking to the big skein–so did you ever get the little one back or has he taken it as his own?
Chaos deserves that mini skein just for being so cute! I got my box yesterday and since it’s just me and the spousal unit here, the mini skein is mine, all mine.
That is utterly adorable. And it makes sense – they sent a skein for you to knit with, and a cat-sized skein for Chaos. Maybe you’ve found the next SRM?
where’s the violence? it looks like kitty adoration in the works there…
i am *trying* to do some super cute as gloves from *the happy hooker* book… you know… crochet? but the f-ing pattern isn’t making sense to me and i can READ patters you know what i’m sayin?
if i post all webdings like you’ll understand why…
That is Hi-larious!!! #1, I love the mini skein, what a great marketing ploy…I am so going to have to order some Socks That Rock & #2 Chaos is a riot, but then again he’s just being a cat:)
It looks like Chaos has been taking lessons from Simon, who, weirdly, is sitting on my lap and appears to be looking at the pictures! Oh, no! Now he’s going to insist that I join the STR club!!!!
Looks like you indulged in the same membership I did 🙂 I finished one tiger today and am halfway through another. Poor Mr. Aldritch will not likely see the pair though:
“hey now hey now n-now that’s just the way it will be…hey now hey now n-now security don’t like them dps….” ***CV
Too funny. I can tell already I’m going to be sad I didn’t just go ahead and sign up for the STR club. Beautiful stuff. I can’t wait to see what you make. Are you going to make the pattern she sent with it?
Just like Chaos, I prefer that mini skein key chain 😉 Chaos, I’m sending you my address!
It does make the perfect cat toy!
I’m not going to let Lucy see this blog entry.
Too funny. I love that last action shot. Not at all sure how you managed to get it, but I love it.

Funny, Java had no interest whatsoever in the mini-skein.
I’m kicking myself for not joining!!, but now I’m on their waiting list!

What better toy for a knitter’s cat? I always love the Chaos updates.

I’m wishing i signed up for that now but what can you do. By the end of it Chaos will have a nice collection of mini skein toys,.
OH, how cute!
All of you who signed up for that are just going to make the rest of us who showed some restraint regret it… *sigh*
Chaos looks to be having a lot of fun with the mini skein, LOL!

I didn’t realize how teeny that keychain was! Or how big Chaos is!
Too Cute!
I would have loved to have joined the sock club but I think DH would have had a fit – we are trying to economise 🙁
I love the pictures of Chaos claiming his STR! I am really kicking myself for not joining the club.
LOL! Looks like the perfect cat toy to me. Now Katie is going to be mad that I didn’t join the club.
I was wondering what to do with my mini skein! Either the kitties will love it or the girls will. Whoever gets it will surely lose it.
Cute! I’m glad Chaos has a new toy. My husband loves the pictures too. Unfortunetly, I couldn’t afford membership, so I’ll have to live vicarouisly through everyone who could.

I just love anything in miniature like that little skein. (errgh, except for men. ;-))
You make me wish I had a cat just to play with MY mini-skein! LOL Moxie just took a sniff and walked away. He clearly has no taste.
Kally just saw this post and she is fuming mad at me. She wants her keychain right now! Grrrs gonna be mad for a long time, I waited too long to join.

That is just adorable. And that cat’s paws….are you sure Chaos is not a panther??? HUGE!
Okay, seriously, how CUTE is that miniskein?! Add Chaos to the picture and you’re off the charts. 😉 What an awesome package!! Take care, Chris! 🙂
Dip that mini-skein in catnip and you’ve got cat heaven. Yummy.
Better a miniskein than a dead bird. Trust me.
Oh, the mini-skein is so cute! (I”m fond of the bumper sticker, too.)

Hehe, are these the acrobatics you told me about? I love that last picture!!
too cute! maybe chaos just wants some socks.
Maybe it is time to knit Chaos some sushi!
Tell him that is WAY too damn expensive for him to ruin! 😉
But he can’t help himself! The mini-skein, it is a’callin’ him.
I learned Norwegian Purling from Beth Brown Reinsel. But there is also a great video here. http://www.socknitters.com/lessons/purlwithyarninback.htm
You actually haven’t seen fast until you see Kristi R knit!
umm… was that the first package from the socks that rock club? I am GREEN GREEN GREEN. A HUGE green eyed monster. GREEN.

wow, cool yarn! Wish I had signed up, now.
I got mine! And no puddy tat is getting my keyring! It is all MINE!
yarn and a cat toy too! What more could a knitter ask for from a club.
Now, I am seriously jealous, that skein is the most gorgeous colour…. sigh.
Oh, the humanity!
🙂

he can’t help himself, after all it is a mini skein.
