Cancelled Plans

I don't want to go into details, but if you've been following my Twitter you know it's been a pretty crappy week at Chez KnotMagick. So bad, in fact, that I have the misfortune of announcing that I will not be at Steampunk Symposium as planned. I tried everything in my power to hang on to…

Bullseye

It has been a very long, exhausting week and I've spent almost none of it at home since Saturday. The cat is pretty pissed off about this, and showed it by knocking over a lamp and breaking the bulb (on carpet) while I was gone, and then waking me up every 30 minutes on my…

The World’s Fair, Sans Pictures

So last weekend I got a nice little sunburn working at the Historical Society for the World of Ohio Fair. This was the first year for what they hope will be an annual event, and it was a ton of fun! Throughout the weekend, we had entertainment--Irish step dancers, local independent artists, German dance, as…

Something to Do in My Spare Time

This past weekend was the GoodGuys car show in downtown Columbus. As I do every year, I went on Saturday with my parents (Dad shows a '53 Chevy pickup). And as usual, I dressed for the occasion. (Photos coming soon; they're on Mom's camera.)My motto is that if you can wear a costume, you should.…

Knitter’s Weekend Part I: Pride Columbus Meetup and Yarn Crawl

It's been a few days, so I'm mostly recovered now from a very busy weekend. It was so much fun though--I seldom go out, let alone with people (because REASONS, mostly involving the fact that I'm a broke hermit). But on Saturday I got to meet a whole slew of Ravelers at Columbus Pride.We started…
