Handknit Heroes!

Hooray! A graphic novel featuring superheroes who fight crime with .... knitting?


From the website: Imagine you’re a teenager, and you have some… special powers. Maybe even super powers. And one day, at a sleepover, your best friend in the whole world tells you—you’re not alone. So begins the adventure for a couple of teenagers, a single mom and yarn shop owner, and a whole bunch of hand knitted fun.

Handknit Heroes is the first graphic novel for knitters. Each issue features a great storyline with knitting superheroes, terrific artwork, and a beautiful (and easy) knitting pattern.

Here's a sample "adventurelette."

I know someone who will love that. What a lovely idea.

Yes, very cool. The site lists yarn shops that carry it and they do mail subscriptions, too.

That's so cool!

Yes, I thought so too. I'm not normally a fan of graphic novels -- I think I need a night course in how to read them -- but I'm happy to support this venture.
