A lot has been made of the “new domesticity” – the resurgence of knitting, crocheting, and other domestic, traditionally female crafts with more than a touch of punk, DIY spirit and with a perspective that emphasizes gender equity rather than traditional roles. Subversive Cross Stitch is miles away from your grandma’s sampler – but then again, maybe she had that “Babies Suck” cross stitch hidden under her bed. More than just a how-to book, Subversive Cross Stitch runneth over with misanthropic attitude, presented in the homiest, most domestic, and comfortable space possible.
