| Cat‑itude cuff word chart | Depending upon where you live, a black cat crossing your path may be a good or bad sign (good in Britain and Japan, bad in the U.S. and many European countries). Regardless, meeting three black cats in a succession is considered good luck. The October issue of Bead&Button includes this adorable bracelet featuring a trio of black felines. Check out our resource guide to get the word chart and stitch it up in time for Halloween. |
