Knitting Needles Take Stabs at Time, Stress

We can think of few things less sexy or exciting than knitting. But Balendu at Adpunch points us to this campaign by Katia, which illustrates the slogan “Kill [Time/Stress], Knit” with a knitting needle stabbed into a phone (for stress) and a clock (for time). A creatively knit puddle of blood running from the gash dribbles down to the floor. The red thread against stark white makes the whole thing deliciously dark.

Pulling off racy knitting humour is a feat worthy of laud. And maybe a knitting needle purchase or two. But we can’t just credit Katia; CIA Comunicacion out of Barcelona brainstormed the idea. We wonder what kind of intra-office accident went down in the creative department before they came up with it.

“I don’t want to talk about it” doesn’t necessarily mean someone won’t communicate, psychologists who study a pattern known as normative male alexithymia have found many men are socialized from childhood to have a genuinely thinner emotional vocabulary to reach for, not a refusal to use the one they have.
