Naughty Netta's Knitting Knickers for the Seat of War - A Humorous Take on the National Knitting Effort during WWI This charming and witty postcard, dated 1916, captures the spirit of the First World War's knitting craze with a touch of humor. The image features a young girl, her brow furrowed in concentration as she gazes mournfully up at a photograph of her highland soldier sweetheart. In her hands, she holds a pair of knitting needles and a ball of khaki wool, diligently working on a rather unusual project - a pair of woollen knickers. The knickers, with their exaggeratedly bulky design, appear far from comfortable, adding a comical element to the scene. The national knitting effort during WWI was a significant part of the war effort, with millions of items, including socks, scarves, and blankets, being produced by volunteers to provide comfort and support to soldiers. This postcard, with its humorous take on the knitting craze, serves as a reminder of the creative ways in which people found to express their patriotism and support for the troops during this time. The use of khaki wool, the traditional color of military uniforms, further emphasizes the connection between the knitting and the war effort. The girl's expression, a mix of sadness and determination, speaks to the sacrifices being made by individuals and families during the war. Overall, this postcard is a delightful and amusing representation of the national knitting effort and the role it played in the history of WWI.
