Hi CW Gang:
LOL - I know BB2 will pop by....LOL....But this is a Wooden Mushroom for fixing darning Socks. Back in the old days you FIXED socks, now you just throw them away. I do not think anyone ?? Fixes their socks anymore at all. Even the Grannies I think just put on a new pair of Socks !! Great piece of a type of Folk art too.
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

What a rare treasure
I have my Nana's here. I guess it's from back in the day when socks were hand knitted so mending was really worthwhile. I don't think anyone darns anything anymore!
This is so cool !!! I've never seen one before. Years ago when money was tight my wife would sew the holes in my socks. She would use a light bulb, for the task. Now she says - buy some new ones...LOL !
How something so simple can bring back so many memories. Neil
My grandmother had one just like it, only it was quite worn because she used it a lot. She taught me how to do it but I am way too lazy to fix any sock nowadays :)
