Cats: Counted Cross Stitch Kits

Cross Stitched Art Of Our Feline Friends

One of my favorite hobbies is counted cross stitch and now that there are numerous cat cross stitch kits, I'm feeling the need to purchase one or two to work on in the coming months.

I love my cats and I find it relaxing to cross stitch, combining the two loves just seems like a natural choice for my evenings. I have discovered some lovely kits for counted cross stitch that I would like to share with my fellow lovers of needle crafts and the feline.

When I first saw a rendition of the picture to the left, it was in a calendar and I thought then...what a fantastic cross stitch piece that would be. It can be purchased along with other kits below. So, come on, let's get stitchin'!
