Purl Harder!


One of the more unusual propaganda posters published after the attack on Pearl Harbor has to be the one below.



It is trying to encourage the women of America to do their part by knitting wool socks and sweaters for the fighting men. You will notice that the knitting needles form the "V for Victory".

The poster above is part of the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
