Can you identify the item pictured below?
Is it a ...
a) sock darner
b) marracha
c) herb masher
d) tart tamper
If you guessed (a) sock darner
you are correct!
The domestic diva showed up today.
I rocked this little gadget and darned 15 socks!
By my calculations, I figure around $35 was saved by repairing our (mostly mine) socks.
The sock darner belonged to my grandmother, then my mother.
I've used it many times over the years -- not as much as I could have. Or should have.
But enough to make me feel domestic (and frugal) every decade or so.
I like the frugal nature of this little device -- always frustrating when a sock gets a hole before it's worn out.
ReplyDeleteI remember Cara always using these as microphones as a kid when she was singing. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteOh Nate ... you are so right! She definitely did! LOL
DeleteCan I bring mine over :-)
ReplyDeleteI would need a video interpretation of how this is used :)
ReplyDeletehaha i was just looking to see if you blooged saw this and was going to comment on saying i know it's a sock darner but more importantly the best micorphone a little girl could ask for back in the "good ol' days!
