Subversive cross stitch
Filed under: Accessories, Fashion, Stylish Living
Cross stitch has gone subversive. And not a moment too soon.
subversive: a systematic attempt to overthrow or undermine a government or political system by persons working secretly from within.
Are you as excited about this as I am? My knees are bouncing under my desk.
On the website, you can buy kits for designs that say things from "TRUTHINESS" to "Don't Make Me Cut You". I can just imagine myself relaxing on the couch in front of The Soup and stitching, and my roommate coming in and saying:
Roommate: Whatcha doin', Annie?
Annie: Just some cross stitch.
Roommate: Oh, that's so quaint and adorable! What's it say?
Annie: "Life Sucks, Then You Die."
The website sells a book, a calendar, and note cards, and has an extensive How-To section. Knitting is so passe. I'm talking to you, Julia Roberts.
