Knit Princess - Knitting-themed webcomic

So I like comics, and I love knitting. So when these two spheres collide, I'm bound to enjoy it - remember Handknit Heroes? Well believe it or not, there's a second member of the knitting-themed-comics club: Knit Princess.

I actually remember finding it a couple years ago when it only had a few comics, but now that I've re-discovered it I'm going through the archives to catch up on all I've missed. It's a fun comic, cute art, and some jokes that only the knitters will get. :)

You can poke around, or you can start reading the archive from here.

Guest post by Espanolbot: Handknit Heroes review of first 2 issues

Today I am featuring a guest post by Espanolbot, otherwise known as "the boy". He usually blogs here on his Livejournal, but today he has written a post for me about the first two issues of Handknit Heroes, the knitting-themed comic book. I gave my opinion of the first issue previously, as a hardcore knitter and casual comics fan - Lewis, on the other hand, is a hardcore comics fan and a casual knitter.

I'll tell you what I think about the second issue once I have read it - I just received it. In the mean time, here's Lewis' thoughts.

In a city plagued with crime, three teenaged superheroes are out to bag the bad guys, while mysterious experiments by those close to the heroes are performed in the sidelines...

Oh, and knitting’s involved.

Handknit Heroes is an independently published comic that started in spring 2009, out of creator Stephanie Bryant’s desire to combine the current popularity of superheroes with the knitwear available on such sites as Ravelry.com.

The result is... enthusiastic but flawed, to put it mildly.

Handknit Heroes - Issue 1 - Review

Recently I received the first issue of a new comic series called Handknit Heroes.

That's right, they're cashing in on that prominent demographic of knitting comic readers (don't laugh, I actually know a few and am one myself).

The premise is simple enough - A quarterly superhero comic involving fiber arts in various ways, with a pattern at the end of the issue. The story is simple so far, about a trio of superpowered teenagers (twin siblings and the sister's best friend) and a mad(?) scientist mom. (Who knits. Naturelement.) Being the first issue, introducing the characters, there isn't much to say about the story so far other than it's intriguing and well enough written.
