It has been a long time since I posted any images of knitting propaganda, so here’s one. I like the entire genre, although this one is a little threatening-looking. Possibly not just because of the gun-wielding soldier, but also because I don’t know what the word “dones” means, and yet we are being exhorted to do it. Maybe.
Yesterday was my birthday, and I had cards and e-cards and calls and both breakfast and dinner made for me, and even a cake. I was very touched.
Ah. Apparently “dones” means “women.” And “treballeu” is knitting, as in the poster at this link: http://www.bolerium.com/cgi-bin/bol48/51287.html?id=FXfQK4R5 which tells us, I think, to knit for the front, because the nights are cold. babelfish does not know this word, so I am guessing. No wonder I have not previously posted this bit of knitting propaganda. The truth is, I have no idea what it is advocating, and it is probably quite irresponsible of me to put it up here. Maybe it says “He may have a gun, but you have pointy sticks!”
Happy belated Birthday 🙂
really interesting…
Birhdays are good – they let us know we’re one year wiser than we were at the same time the previous year. I tend to think that Feb is a better birthday month than March but March is not too bad 🙂
Happy birthday for Thursday.
Happy (late) birthday!!
Aha – another G + S fan. And what operetta was the February dissing from?
It’s not from ‘The flowers that bloom in the spring tra la” is it? (I’m guessing here – I don’t know the G & S lyrics all off by heart)
My birthday was March 2nd. Yay us!
Here are some folks knitting for the front right now, if you have any interest in continuing the noble tradition:
