And we actually sewed our socks...and that was still going on the the 50’s and 60’s.
Beau darns his Lucky Hunting Socks that he’ll never part with.
I crochet so I make us hats and scarves and mittens - and I send a lot on to charity causes, too. I buy cotton and wool yarn for pennies on the dollar at St. Vinnie’s or Goodwill. It’s also FUN to take apart and re-use wool sweaters.
I love all that old-timey crafty stuff. :)
