It is going to take a boycott of such products - hard to organize in a world that has a very high proportion of people who don't seem to care. <br /><br />To avoid ending on a down note, thank you for the Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-47347493267704710762019-04-06T02:27:03.336-04:002019-04-06T02:27:03.336-04:00Hi Halle,

The whole visible mending movement is very popular now, I'm very drawn to the Japanese traditions, boro, wabi-sabi etc, but really mending is just what I've always done and enjoyed, and now I feel less and less interested in buying new things (except yarn!).

WHAT??? ... THROW AWAY CLOTHES!!! <br /><br />Lucy is at the front of a new trend it seems! K tells me that she saw an article suggesting that darning can be decorative.

It could therefore be used in two ways, with or without the cap. Don't tell anyone but Lucy still darns, often in pretty little patterns, just for the fun of it.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree about the use of plastics, and other one-use throwaway objects.
