So I am interested in learning how to make socks.
It cannot be that hard.... First of all, HA! WTF is going on with all of that? Still gonna try.
Noggin gets to kicking though and realize that machines make most of the stuff now and I am curious because all of this innovation and some how things keep getting more expensive.... I am pretty sure Ford came up with the assembly line to make manufacturing more efficient to offset wages in a positive manner while lowering consumer price..
So like I guess like a couple questions about socks... Anyone know what their deal is or whatever?
My guy, I have downloaded books on the subject. Just before posting this actually. It is what got me wondering about why innovation has only gotten more expensive when it's design is based quite literally on true capitalism which is providing the best possible quality content at the lowest possible price to help support the entire community instead of an oligarchich few, considering that slavery is at least partly driving the market surplus things should be much cheaper, like the electronic sock maker I was looking to purchase the other day.... Bringing me to WTF is actually going on with socks? Have you watched one of those videos. Maybe I just zone out but it's all we are making a tube with yarn, witchcraft, and there you have a sock! Then the book has you starting at the toe but you have to be able to count to a thousand TWICE, with two pieces of yarn on the same needle, alternating! It's actually like 8, but it might as well be 1000. F ME, man.. Maybe $1,800 is cheap AF for a sock maker....
It hasn't.
China has made consumer products ridiculously cheap.
You did. There are plenty of knitting patterns for woolen socks if you want to pick your own cotton and spin it into wool.
If you want to make cotton fabric then that's altogether a more complex process.
All of these problems can be answered with a single browser search.
Spinning looks far easier than knitting, over all. The cleaning and drying process, also the collection is a bit above my stamina level though. Anything requiring a loom is simply out of the question.
That is just it though, nothing has actually gotten cheaper, they just provide it cheaper than we can in the states given their lack of laws governing production and those that do not follow the law anyway, over all it has still gotten more expensive. Blame it on this or that but everything has become nothing but easier to produce and has consistently gone up in price. Consider the work required to knit socks, it isn't simple, though a skilled individual might be able to produce many quickly. The cost of the raw product (considering quality and type) and the labor have plateaued while the cost of the finished product (consider that some labor is now completely automated, invented to lower cost to improve quality overall) has gone up. If inflation is to pay off debt then why do we keep raising the debt ceiling?
Wrong. You'll need to spin both cotton and yarn.
I quit at this point. You need to do your own homework if you're truly interested.
Are you out of your Gourd? I can send you one of mine. I have considered growing cotton so perhaps I will need to learn spinning. To me it looks easier, just tedious and time consuming. It doesn't require numbers and counting. I already have some yarn and plan on getting more. Do you know when they wont be selling it anymore, I need to get some more before I start trying to learn socks. I might have a sock loom.... I'LL BE!! Well, it isn't for linen anyway!
