Today we shall celebrate black cats. (What? You think I do that every day? Um, well, maybe so…)
Last week Trish posted a picture of some very cool cat stitchmarkers she’d purchased. I went and checked out the lovely stitch markers Karen makes and ordered a set of black cats for very small needles and another set for medium needles.
Aren’t they great? These are the ones for small needles.
And here are the markers for medium needles – Karen included a bonus marker for me – recognize Chaos’ brother Diablo there on the right?!! Now I need to start a shawl or something that will use lots and lots of markers…
Last week I took care of my neighbor Anna’s cat Sweets while Anna was in Hawaii. One of the best things about living in my building is that we exchange catsitting duties – so I went down the hall and visited Sweets a few times a day and one of my neighbors will do the same for Chaos while I’m out of town. Anyway, Anna brought back some very fun black cat swag for me!
From the left, swizzle sticks, a very cool black cat nodder, and one of my wine glasses decorated with a little black cat that hangs from the rim by its tail.
These are such cute things! I love the stitch markers, but I would be afraid of people giving me more catchenage related things if I were to get them…
As a fellow black cat owner, I have to say, “Black cats are awesome!” I love my little panther, Wiji.
Cute stitch markers! Cute cat everything in fact.
No wine, Chaos! Catnip is the only drug for you!
Such cute black cat stuff! Love the stitch markers. What a nice thank you gift!
you know, i think there’s a special place in hell for enablers.
i’m just sayin’.
😉
Oh, no! Black cat stuff!! Must… resist…
I hadn’t realized Chaos had a bit of white on him. Pretty!
Chaos has to be the most curious cat I have ever seen! How did you get him to pose for all those photos?!?
Adorable black cat everything (including the live one). I like the stitch markers. Lace uses a lot of them:)
Yes.. but is he old enough to drink in CAT years? Great stuff.. I love the bobble-headed (I almost said booble again.. darn it!!) cat the most.
love the stitch markers! Is Chaos really that nosy or do you have to encourage him to stick his nose in everything?
Bobblehead black cat … love it!
You know that Fair Isle uses a whole lot of stitch markers, right?
That Chaos really gets around! I think a glass full of tuna would be just reward for all the modeling he does.
Chaos looks like he’s dined in fine glassware before. So spoiled. Is it wrong to envy a cat? hehe
That last picture reminds me of the Fancy Feast commercial where the white Persian cat is served in a crystal goblet.
And I want to know the answer to the question asked by Jess and Carole above too.
Chaos really is that curious. If I’m doing anything, he has to be checking it out. He’s not posing. 🙂
He’s also a very busy cat and keeps himself quite entertained with his toys and running around for surprisingly long periods during the day.
Bless sports mode on the camera…
Very, Very cool….and Chaos seems to approve 🙂
Sports mode?
He is very curious! And black cats are cool, but gray cats rule.
I’ll see you in the Enablers circle of Hell, Anna. Where would anyone be without us?
Carmen gives a big thumbs up to those cute stitch markers and the swizzle sticks! (do cats have thumbs?). Very cute, and I love how she added in Diablo!
Cute schwag!
I love my black kitty…I just wish she were easier to photograph. Of course, my tendency to decorate with black may not help in that matter.
What a collection! Cats are very good at putting their noses into things. Willow tried to sniff a ball of dryer lint this morning and ended up sneezing twice.
She looked at me afterwards like I should have told her it wasn’t sniffable… like she would have believed me ;o)
Cute little black kitty stitchmarkers, and very thoughtful for the different needle sizes!
That bobblehead cat is adorable. Though nothing could ever be as cute as Chaos.
Oh how sweet! That cat really is into everything – so wonder you are stumbling over chaos.
So, do you have one of those black kitty clocks with the eyes and tail that move? ;o)
Black cats are gorgeous! I love the black cat nodder
I LOVE THE NODDER.
love

Those markers are great. Too bad there aren’t black w/ white belly ones for Viva!
Doesn’t Clapotis take about 12 markers?
Love the stitch markers, very cute! What is a nodder? I’m corn-fused?
Those are some of the *best* black cat doo dads I’ve seen! What fun!
Now, if they made calico cat stitch markers I could possibly get my sister bit by the knitting bug… 😉
Black cats are always a good thing to celebrate. You could knit the Kat Kilmanjaro Shawl, to go along with the kitty theme.
Very cute kitty stuff.
And, hooray for black cats!
In addition to our black-and-white one, who often poses for pictures, we also have two pure black kitties 🙂
I love those stitchmarkers and swizzle sticks! Chaos is so sophisticated, sniffing the bouquet…I hope he remembered to swirl the glass first to aerate the spirits. 😉 Take care, Chris! 🙂
what awesome black cat booty!
I did fear that I was going overboard with the Black Cat stuff, but I couldn’t help myself… so I am proud to be an enabler of my favorite cat-sitter! Thank you again, Chris, for looking in on Sweets!!
Those stitch markers are so cool!
I’m a copy CAT…I put up a photo of my (mostly) black cat, who is not as curious as Chaos, but still pretty adorable.
That’s a great collection of black cat stuff!
Love your black cat booty and your black cat! Sadie (my black cat) and I found our way over from Janelle and Ticia’s blog and will be back to read more about Chaos’ adventures. 🙂
How nice Karen sent a Diablo marker too! I’ve already placed another order….I’m hopeless.
Nice black-cat booty…I’m at least related to a black cat…my ‘little brother’ Jack is a 15 lb long hair black cat who owns my parents’ household. Known as LBJ (large Black Jack).
Wow – your cat looks just like mine – “Hellcat” is her name and her attitude. The markers are adorable.
