					<b>Nate: </b><em>?This is a sentence I wasn't expecting to see today. It's from a British WWII poster from the collection of the <a href="http://www.iwmcollections.org.uk/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=NEXT_RECORD&XC=/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll&BU=&TN=uncat&SN=AUTO2353&SE=6568&RN=4&MR=25&TR=0&TX=1000&ES=0&CS=1&XP=&RF=allResults&EF=&DF=allDetails&RL=0&EL=0&DL=0&NP=1&ID=&MF=WPENGMSG.INI&MQ=&TI=0&DT=&ST=0&IR=0&NR=0&NB=0&SV=0&BG=0&FG=0&QS=">Imperial War Museum</a>. I'm not sure if it actually represented an efficient way of getting socks to soldiers, or if its purpose was primarily for morale-building at home, to connect domestic acts with the struggle abroad. The very clever poster is by the great mid-century British designer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Games">Abram Games</a>. The blog post where I found it is also quite wonderful, full of visual and thematic references linking knitting, espionage, escape, and stilt-walking (and more specifically, <a href="http://www.abelard.org/france/les_landes_forestry_industry1.php">knitting on stilts</a>).?</em><br />
