The Sock Exchange at ABSOLUT Fringe 2011
22 to 25 September 2011
Dare to darn and claim your free ‘Darning needle for life’
in this mass darning event as part of Year of Craft 2011
Darn your way out of the economic crisis and subvert your
addiction to short-term shopping by spreading the joy of making and mending
together. Join other unlikely darners to transform your unloved woolly assets
and build up your resilience for the future. With a few slick woolly licks or
maverick mends, your newly desirable, durable socks will be the envy of all.
Darn for survival, darn for joy!
Find the Sock Exchange in the heart of the Dublin Fringe
throughout the last four days of the festival.
We must root out all the holey socks from the city of
Dublin. No chest of drawers must be left unturned.
In these sparse times holey socks are valuable commodities
forecast to experience steady economic growth in the next quarter. Invest in
sock futures. Watch the value of your socks rise. The more they are darned, the
more they are valued. That’s the power of bodkin economics. Find out more here:

Best of luck to everyone involved, after organising the world record in Roscommon this year I know what a huge undertaking this is! Wish I could make it but I'm tied up with workshops in Roscommon. Michelle
