leene_chan | Taking a Break.

I'm taking a short break from the Andean Silk sweater because working with alpaca has been wearing the tips off my fingers. Because I can't help myself, in the meantime I'm trying to make headway on the ChicKnits Gigi Sweater. Originally it was supposed to be made with Cotton Fleece but I wanted to try it out with Knit Picks Merino-Style. Here it is in Rhubarb. A mighty strange color.

I was leery of doing the entire sleeve on double-pointed needles but Merino-Style is such a breeze to work with! I'm not too happy about having to make two of these, though....^_^;

On the gaming front, I just saw a preview video for the newest Seiken Densetsu game, Dawn of Mana, on youtube. And what the frig, Squeenix!? This game is a prequel to Children of Mana?! The English language narration says it takes place ten years before CoM. And considering that CoM takes place after a catastrophe that happened years ago, and there's a character in the DoM trailer that bears a striking resemblance to CoM's Nazo no Otoko....Don't tell me. The reason why CoM was completely devoid of substance was because it was nothing more than a bait project for DoM?! Is that why they set up a huge backstory and never explained anything in a manner that made any sense?! O_O

I don't know whether I should order a copy at launch or wait for it to be discounted, because even though CoM was a pretty much a hollow shell of a game I liked the little substance it had. I guess I'll just keep my eye on it for a while. Who knows when it's coming out in Japan, anyway?
