One word of caution, cats do tend to rub around your ankles, and could possibly cause you to fall if you are not careful. Try to train him/her not to be underfoot, especially on stairs!
I know you will love having a cat. They are easy to care for and very loving. Mine brings joy to me everyday.
I agree with you, about the stealing pins, and rubbing. Mine also loves to lay on mine especially if I am sewing or ironing. I have a 2 block pad I encourage him to sleep on. Sometimes it works.
When not I stop what I'm doing and give 5-10 min. of quality petting and ear and neck scratching. Then back to work.
