Knitting/wool/sheep advertising makes me giggle. For each of the following, put your hand over the logo and try to tell me what the ad is for:
Yup, strange.
How about this one?
Or this one?
And finally
Yea, no wonder my politically minded friends don't seem very into knitting....you have to get your wool from the demon sheep...

| Fabric softener, I think.... This is apparently a whole series. See the others here and here. |
 |
| Manhattan storage company via Yarny Days. This link leads to a really inappropriate ad. Funny, but inappropriate. |
How about this one?
 |
| This one isn't actually an ad, but more propoganda encouraging people to knit items for service members during World War II (via LIFE Magazine) If you can't tell, these are show girls. Sexy, sexy knitting |
Or this one?
| Knitting is the Most. Fun. Ever. For those of you who don't knit: I do, and I still have NO IDEA what this product is. Via Craftzine |
And finally
 |
| The Carly Fiorina Demon Sheep Attack Ad from 2010. Watch the whole terrifying video here. Demon sheep at minute 2:27. |
These are awesome!! I esp love the vintage ad (no idea either) & the propaganda photo.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo thought - isn't that the front cover of a popular knitting book?? Can't think of the title right now, but I swear I've seen that photo on a book.
Measure Knit - they look like knitting needles that double as rulers.
ReplyDeleteSara, I think you are correct. You can apparently still buy them all over the place (https://secure.mawebcenters.com/websites/knitstix/feedback.html) They just seem like SO MUCH FUN in the picture :-)
