balance of craft skills

Remember that post we had once about Nazi knitting? I’m now proud to present anti-Nazi cross-stitching.

Casdagli spent long hours working on his cross-stitching and between 1941 and 1945, he created a series of subversive samplers, in which Casdagli had hidden, around the Swastikas and Hammer & Sickles, a series of messages in Morse Code, which read:

“God Save The King”

“Fuck Hitler”

We just need Communist crochet now for the set. I did a quick google but no joy.

There is hope:

. . . but not a lot of it, since this particular anarchist appears to have lived up to all the worst stereotypes of early C21st anarchists by doing half a sock and giving up. On the other hand: "Doesn’t matter. The void hears me. The void understands." 'sright.

Nazi ceramics?

I understand there is a sweater on display at the museum in Shetland that was worn by a POW during his internment in Germany, and repeatedly repaired, so that it is now more darning that knitting. I wonder if he know how to knit and darn before he was interned, or if he figured out in all his, ummm, spare time?

Darned if I know.
