Diamond Ring the Cat


My name is Diamond Ring. I am a SBC (single black cat), fixed, petite, potty-trained, outgoing and available. I am solid black in color with stunning green eyes. I love the indoors as well as the outside. I am sweet and mellow and need a loving home. Please consider adopting me.

button, button

Finding buttons to match this was an ordeal! These are absolutely perfect. I am just about done with this cardigan. Back, both sleeves and the left front are done and I am 1/2 way through the right front. Picking up stitches for the neck edge and seaming will be a snap. Best of all, this will not need blocking since the yarn really keeps it's shape.
