Radical Cross Stitch
There has been a lot of focus on “craft” lately in the punk, political, art and DIY scenes, and to be honest, I find most of it annoying. That said, I’m finding a new appreciation, and am getting more interested in what one can do with fabric than ever before.
There are likely a ton of political craft sites out there, but we recently got an email from Kakariki in Australia who upkeeps the Radical Cross Stitch Blog. She sent us to a project she did stitching words into fences, and the whole blog is filled with a nice mix of politics and craft, with connections to many other projects. So if this is your thing, definitely check out what the folks down under are up to with their yarn.
Yes! Thank you for this. Also check out the peeps at knitta and microRevolt, they’re doing some very cool radical knitting.
