See us on TV3 Morning Show – watch live 11am Fri #afringe

Jonnet Middleton — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:35:54 +0000

An update to catch Jonnet Middleton speaking on Irish TV shortly after 11am tomorrow. Tune in to the Morning Show where Jonnet will be chatting to presenters Sybil and Martin about her no-clothes pledge, her mission to bring in the age of mending, and the Sock Exchange at Absolut Fringe.

Great news for our darning world record attempt #afringe

Jonnet Middleton — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:37:05 +0000

If proof were needed that we can set a world record for darning, check out what’s been going on in Roscommon to break the world record for most number of knitters in one place.

Ireland – breaking woolly world records thick and fast!

Sock Exchange in Prudence Magazine

Jonnet Middleton — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:26:58 +0000

The Sock Exchange is one of the Prudent Picks for the coolest, thriftiest living in Ireland. Check out the Pruzine – your Thursday guide to all things thrifty.

Sock Exchange ready for darning rush! #afringe

Jonnet Middleton — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:25:05 +0000

We are ready to open our doors to darners at 10am tomorrow, and we’re prepared for crowds.

The Sock Exchange is looking swanky with the last minute addition of a darning chill out zone. Come and do your darning on a lush bean bag!

We’ve been getting heaps of interest all day, with more male potential punters than female. Everyone who hears about the Age of Mending thinks it makes so much sense. Think we’re onto a winner

Watch this space for photos, videos and breaking news over the next 4 days, and hope to see you here soon.

Live TV interview – Sock Exchange on Fri TV3 Morning Show!

Jonnet Middleton — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:59:27 +0000

Wooo! I’ve been invited onto the couch of Ireland’s only TV breakfast show, the Morning Show on TV3. This is great news for the Sock Exchange and a great leap towards the new Age of Mending!

I’ll invite the presenters to pull off a nifty darn while the show’s on air and entice viewers into the Sock Exchange to help set the world record for darning.

7-9am, Friday 23 September. Overseas darners – I’ll try and put up a link to tune in online.

Flagellation and sock tax on budget agenda as recession fashion proves winner all-round

Jonnet Middleton — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:42:16 +0000

Economist Colm McCarthy looked on. A tax on men’s socks? Now that’s a good money-saving idea.
