Finished Project & Happy New Year!

First post of 2014, yay! (And it didn't happen in February either, lol!)

Just wanted to wish all my followers & fellow bloggers a Happy New Year and I hope you gals and guys have a kickass 2014. :)

Also wanted to share a project I just finished knitting. It's going to be a surprise present for someone...can't say who in case she reads this (though I doubt it!) lol! xD

It's a scarf from the game Rune Factory 4 for Nintendo 3DS. It's been kind of my addiction lately and also the reason why this blog has gone mostly neglected. ;___; sorry, friends!

In the game, your character can knit a cute little scarf for friends/lovers/etc. So I decided to make one myself, inspired by a teensy tiny pixelated game sprite. I don't think you actually see this scarf in game or in any character art. Even if you equip it, I don't think you can see it on the character because it's not a head accessory. Lame! But anyway.... see the comparison below:



Cute huh?

I think there's another scarf which becomes available for crafting later on in the game, though I have not yet encountered it.

Yay for nerd knitting. xD (I also got the "Knits for Nerds" book! I am gonna make a sweater vest from one of its patterns!)

I also plan to knit some UNIF replica dresses in 2014. And possibly some other garments...we shall see! (and also an amigurumi of Wooley the sheep from Rune Factory.)

Speaking of RF... I got a doujinshi of Frey x Arthur which I am in the (very slow, very tedious) process of scanlating! Here is a sneak peak below:







(Feel free to open the images in a new tab if the text is too tiny to read on my blog, lol.)

Anyway, I will post more pages as I finish them! If you are interested in helping me scanlate this doujin please comment below with your e-mail and I will give you access to the raw scans on my Dropbox. ^___^

Love you guys!

Finally Done with College!! + some game rambling

Whew, I am SO glad to be done.

I am a little sad that my professors haven't posted grades yet. Well only one did, and I got an A- in English which isn't bad! I just hope I passed circuits because that class was pretty much the baaane of my existence this semester. -___-;;

I start work full time next Monday. My graduation ceremony is tomorrow, and Saturday. My parents are flying in for the weekend, and I am going to take them to my favorite restaurants, hehe.

In the meantime I have been selling off my old textbooks. I just got $91 for a trade in on Amazon for one of them, and the other might sell for $105, but if it does, I will only get like $78. -___-; evil amazon! LOL.

I want to some of the money I get from textbooks to cross some videogames off my wishlist. I've been making money at work, so I got some clothes and stuff online. Some Korean cosmetics which I will be reviewing soonish (new bbcreams from eBay!) some eyeshadows from Fyrinnae (omg, SO excited!) and uh, other misc stuff.

The game I really want to buy is Atelier Totori!


It just looks sooo adorable and I love that the protagonist is female. ^__^;
I heard it involves a lot of synthesizing items together to complete jobs, as well as building your character's relationship with other characters. The storyline is really simple...a girl wanting to become an adventurer so she sets out on a journey.



I like that the premium edition comes with an artbook since that's what got me into the game in the first place--the gorgeous artwork. :3 I am such a sucker for visuals, what can I say? Maybe I will do a review of the game once I've tried it!!



Secondly, I want to get Rune Factory!


It's like Harvest Moon only more fantasy-ish! I haven't even tried Harvest Moon yet, so this should be fun/ :)

Lastly, I actually just bought Eternal Sonata a week or so ago on eBay! xD

It also looks really fun. ;___;


Can you tell I am on a JRPG kick? xD

Do you guys/gals have any favorite JRPGs you want to share with me? I have a PS3 as well as a Wii, and Gamecube. Oh and a PSX. I really want to get a PS2 and an XBOX360. (Technically I already have a PS2 but it's at my other home in FL...lol.)

And here is the rest of it.
