Cloud Drift, Drifting Away!

I'm zoom-zooming along through my Cloud Drift shawl.  It's definitely coming along very, very nicely and as I'm gauging how much of my Shadow Tonal Golden Glow yarn is left, I'm most certain that it'll use up a very good portion of my stash which is a sad thought to think about that after this shawl, I'll not have much if any at all left to knit with after growing so fond of this type of yarn.  So, the best logical step is to pick up more since it's being discontinued on Knitpicks.  It's been on the discontinued list for a while now but the price is at an all time low that I couldn't resist picking up a few more skeins while it's still available under the current price along with some in a red called Gypsy.  My total naughty treat even though I'm on a yarn diet.  :P 

Gosh, I love Knitpicks when yarn goes on sale.  The prices are within my range and while I still LOVE visiting my LYS to see and feel what I want to knit on a whim, there are a few staple yarns from Knitpicks that I adooooore.  Knitpicks, you complete me....and my yarn stash.

It reminds me heavily of one of the Worsted for Wear knitting web comics that popped up a few days ago.  Totally check them out here for the stash joke that came at the right time for me.  It's one of my favorite knitting centered web comics at the moment and they're usually spot on at poking fun with knitters and our obsessions in a way that I've been able to share clips of the comic with my non-knitting friends and they're able to get a light laugh out of it.  Or at me.  Whichever.  

I read Knit Princess too and it's enjoyable but they pick and drop artists every few months but my favorite was the artist they had briefly from January 2011 through January 2012 who had a kind of cute and whimsical style. Here's one of the archived months to get an idea of the artist's work at the time.  The current artist for Knit Princess has been working with a kind of Japanese manga-esque style but it sort of comes off sort of generic in a seaaaaaaa of manga-styled artists on the web.

I'll have to keep my eye open for an other knitting related comics.  I know of an actual comic book with superheroes that came out a while ago called Handknit Heroes.  Each issue comes with a pattern as well which is a cute idea although beyond that I don't know much more of it at the moment.

I'll keep my eye out for any other knitting web comics that pop up.  I so want for more!
