Slow Socks
Mar. 26th, 2011 06:15 pmI've occasionally snarked that nobody seems to want to establish a Slow Clothes or Local Socks movement, or at least not to preach to me about it. I'm now wrong. http://feralknitter.typepad.com/feral_knitter/2011/03/clothing-as-an-agricultural-act.html describes a Local Clothing group in northern California.
As long as nobody is scolding me about my flagrant use of machine-handled non-local synthetically-dyed cotton, I'm fine with it. If it starts becoming a Movement at which I am Failing (despite not wanting to play), then, well, hmm. There's always weaponized textiles geekery, I guess.
