mending a hole in a sock
.
Thanks to Aldous Huxley and Brave New World. No thanks to Isiah Berlin et al and their demented notions of "negative freedom" vs "positive freedom" that underlay our consumerist society.

  • "the more stitches the less riches"

  • @georgiaboyinak Thanks for the Brave New World quote. I wonder what colour clothes you wear - delta, gamma? And to all, please keep in mind that "ending is better than mending." Facetiously yours.

  • Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge. I am not able to find the brand of socks that I favor for work which now have small holes in the toes. I used this video to repair them nicely. I can't even fele a difference. I used a light bulb per your suggestion. Your a jewel to share !

  • Sure, your welcome. Knowledge like this helped out my family during the Great Depression in Canada.

    Maybe check out the "Great Depression Cooking" videos by YouTube user DepressionCooking - a 91 year old grandma in Chicago area.

  • Precious footage - thank you for being brave and filming this for all of us. This will save a lot of my husband's more expensive socks. And the darning egg is still widely available.

  • Indeed, brave as in "Brave New World",,,

    The bravery continues in negotiations to possibly sell this video to a Hollywood production studio for an MTV show. I was approached by them - not the other way around.

    What price do you think is fair? $1000 was the last offer.
