Welcome to A Stitch in Rhyme! It’s a crochet-illustrated graphic novel set in the land of Talwythen, where the magic that is imbued in animals and plants can be harnessed by skilled humans who know how to weave, knit, and (yes) crochet it into the proper patterns. Along with the fantasy elements you’ll find themes of love versus friendship, science versus religion, ethics versus laws, manufacturing versus craftmanship, and more.

It’s also my first comic ever, so please bear with me while I work out how writing a comic is different than writing a novel. I think my main hurdle is learning to show you the story rather than tell you the story. Have thoughts on this? Leave a comment or suggestion below, I’d love to hear from you!

A couple things I want to make sure you notice:

There are occasional clickable items in the comic. On this page, click Droddy’s introduction sign to read his bio.

The speech balloon toggle button at the top of each page switches between captions and balloons. Try it!

One last thing! If you write a webcomic and would like to do a banner exchange, contact me!
