I finally got some pictures of Conan taken last night, so hopefully I'll be able to put together the pattern packet this evening. Then we'll see about setting up the download and payment system, but from the looks of things that won't be too hard.
In the meantime, I'm playing with the mitered squares. It looks like I'm going to get about twelve squares out of a skein of yarn, and I have on the order of ten skeins; it might be enough to make a little lap quilt kind of thing. Which I can then turn around and give to my grandmother. Nifty, huh?
