• vom_marlowe is asking who's your favorite mangaka, strictly style-wise?



• TechKnitting -- Why did no one tell me about this? This blogger would be awesome if only for her 3-in-1 circular join that eliminates the jog and weaves in your ends at the same time. While a lot of technique articles tend to be things I already know (how to gauge, etc.), TechKnitter actually provides new tips and tricks on old techniques. I think my favorite may be the 3-in-1 join and the tips on long-tail cast-on.
  
  Now all I need to do is email her to ask about good ways to do tubular cast-on in circular, non 1x1 rib tubular cast-on, and the possibilities of using Kitcherner stitch to graft together things in patterns (ribbing and anything non-stockinette and non-garter).



• And I ask everyone what comics or manga you can think of that have stories-within-stories, or stories that comment on each other (aka, the text narrative is telling a different story than the graphic narrative, but they illuminate each other)?

Oh! I need to read more carefully! I'm only up to v. 4.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will check them out.

There's the whole question of Kamen Tantei's actual existence and what level of reality this is all happening at. Does the fictional masked detective really appear to help the two teen writers solve the various mysteries, or have they written themselves into a kamen tantei mystery, or what? And I seem to recall a number of cases there as well as in PSoH where the action is seen through the protagonists' eyes (particularly animals seeing themselves as human in PSoH), but the facts that we see are only revealed at the end.

Gotcha, thanks, will keep that in mind if I get around to reading them.
