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)?
