soc_puppet | I've made the "knitting is to crochet as ninja is to pirate" comparison here, haven't I?

After digging up needles, purchasing yarn, looking up how to purl (again), and over the course of a number of days, my roommate Chris has knitted approximately two or three rows of a scarf for his girlfriend.

After getting itchy fingers from all the people doing yarn stuff in my general vicinity (adlfjsd bus drivers), managing to pick out a couple hooks from a box of pencils and the like in my old room, purchasing a pound of yarn from Ben Franklin's and over the course of about an hour to an hour and a half, I've crocheted approximately twelve rows of a scarf for me.

The pirate in me is rejoicing pettily in this small, insignificant victory over the ninja (while still acknowledging that a number of ninjas on my f'list could kick my ass well and soundly out of the water).

Also purchased Demigods and Monsters at Waldenbooks today, which is a collection of works about (in?) the Percy Jackson universe. I hope to like it. I also feel kinda bad that none of the authors who have contributed other than the editor seem at all familiar to me. Uh. Whoops? ~~Needs moar Coville.~~

Edit: Upon closer examination, it definitely appears to be more a collection of essays than of short stories, which is what I'd originally assumed. Still hope to enjoy it.
