I love stumbling on weird Ohio on accident. Phillip Clover, of Columbus, submitted a patent for a very Victorian device. A Torpedo Coffin. Yep. Between fear of "the unauthorized resurrection of a corpse" and a society obsessed with funerals, it was a major ...uh... blast. It detonated upon opening.

Hey @visitcolumbuszoo.bsky.social!! This is Jim/Jack Crocks! He(?) was brought to Athens in (maybe) the 20's & lived at The Ridges for years before allegedly going to Columbus Zoo. Is there any record? We talked about him in our Notions Club & I'd love to be able to report back on his adventures.

A few years ago, I found out @tiltify.com was hiring a graphic designer and went feral designer mode to finish this ASAP. When I went to submit, the listing was gone, but I found this a few weeks ago and had to share. Turns out charity campaign pages are great for resume organization XD

Fuck your guns

Finished my February Socks - banana socks! Learned a bunch of stuff about heelless socks (woo! Hyperfixation!) These little weirdos fit anyone! And and and their heels last 3x as long because they rarely wear in the same place twice. Yarn is The Fool by @dyemadyarns.bsky.social

So, the earliest socks are we have date back to the 4th century and they’re super complicated colorwork. But the first published pattern wasn’t until 1655. I like to believe there’s a mysterious wall of hieroglyphics they’ve been trying to decode that’s just a knitting pattern somewhere.

Finish #2 this weekend! Flax Sweater by Tin Can Knits in Beast of Busco by @dyemadyarns.bsky.social

Ta da!!! Finally finished my #FourthWing inspired Dragontale Cowl by Hunt Hand Knits! So freakin excited to see it finished and blocked! Eeeeee! Apparently I’m a fan of colorwork 😂

Almost to the toe! And look how cute it is!!

It doesn’t fit 😩 could I have tried it on at any point while knitting? Yes. I usually have at least one of my feet with me. On to sock 2 I suppose.

Been working on this Dragontale Cowl by Hunt Hand Knits after finishing #OnyxStorm & am loving it! Really enjoying working with some bfl yarn we had. the stitch definition is just 👩🏻‍🍳💋

2nd sleeve done! Have to finish the bottom bind off and sew in some ends and she’s ready to block!

Y’all, order your stickers from @stickerninja.bsky.social ! We get ours for @dyemadyarns.bsky.social from them. Their work is fantastic, they care about their employees and other people, they leave you cute little notes and all around everything is fantastic.

Finished one sleeve last week and I’m pretty sure I’m invincible now.

I’ve gotten really good at catching dropped jump rings with my thighs. That’s a valid skill right?

Birthday sweater! (It’s not my birthday yet) In Sagittarius and Turquoise by Dye Mad Yarns

My Ride of Die got married last weekend and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her and Nick ❤️🍊💍

Found a little buddy at my Aunts gravesite - right after talking about how she adores frogs and had one living in the vase yearssss ago
