Captain fell down the stairs tonight. I happened to look back and see him stop to check an itch on his butt or something at the top of the stairs (or the first step actually) and his chubbiness promptly tumbled down the stairs. I was twisted already looking back and by the top I turned around to try and catch him, he was already at the bottom.

He didn’t seem hurt though.

But he’s falling down off things more and more. Doesn’t seem to have good perception of edges or balance.

He’s always been klutzy though. And he’s getting older. I’m not sure there’s much that I could do for him though.

But Oat Couture and Noni Designs don’t use it. Probably because they’re nervous about people passing around the pdfs instead of buying their own copy.

I digress. ParadiseFibers.net had the patterns and reasonable shipping cost of $2.40 for 3 patterns.

* The Noni cascading fuschias market bag pattern that I bought the yarn for early this summer!

* Oat Couture’s Curlicue Coverlet – the model doesn’t look spectacular but it’s what people have done with multiple colors and variegated ones that have me chomping at the bit to do my own. Will be the first time I KNIT an afghan. Some inspirational FOs:  Solaris, Purlingswine, and FuzzyKaren

* Oat Couture’s Stowaway Bag – I’ve already been making some market bags out of free patterns or my own but I wanted to see how they did theirs with the stowaway bottom.

In the meantime,  I have the “1 skein’s worth of a Clapotis” photo for you that I mentioned before. I’m currently at the end of 4 skeins but not sure how far I am in to the pattern as written. Might end up adding length.
