• 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)?

In manga, W Juliet might be a possibility, given that Emura uses the plays the characters are performing to comment on the relationship between Makoto and Ito. In fact, which of the two is playing the female lead and which the male lead changes over time when they restage a play they've done before. Genshiken is a possibility, esp. when Oguie starts imagining things about the guys in the club.

Hrm, yeah. I think I read half of the first v. of W Juliet and never finished it... need to dig it up.
