thanateA steampunk Twelth Night in Philadelphia next month. Sounds interesting, but there aren't any matinees (I'm not sure I fancy driving two hours home after a play that starts at 8) and while I'm quite fond of the play, I've also seen it several times.
Thirteen ways of looking at Facebook (which almost makes me want to log in for the first time in months to represent on Rosemary Kirstein's fan page. Although I haven't yet managed to track down & read her books, despite being told they're quite worthy.)
A social variant related to my depressing ecological thoughts. from Making Light (sum up: we, the privileged, stand upon the shoulders of the oppression that has made us privileged in our society, whether we or our ancestors were party to it or not... you should read at least the initial post, if not the comments; it's a good thing to add to the mental balance, and not too painfully expressed.)
Vintage men's nightcap from Knitty (also, if you haven't yet seen the programmable bag from the current edition, you should wander over and watch their video demo)...![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grauwulf has tentatively promised he might be convinced to wear this at Pennsic or somesuch, should I make one for him. I've also just downloaded the google books version of the 1840 book it came from, and am delighted to find one of their plates devoted to a comparison of flat (patterned) & finished shapes of gathered sleeves. Also it appears that straw braiding (for hats) involves the use of brimstone among its incidental supplies. Now I need to find a PDF editor so I can print it out without all the blank pages.
