Who says you need to have your very own, blood-related granny to craft your custom made knit wear? A growing international fashion trend allows the young and old to order knitted hats and socks directly from the knitting needles of Nanas and Omas around the world, and Net Granny and Golden Hook to get your hands on the classic fashion.
Net Granny, a company from Switzerland, specializes in knitting socks. While you cannot custom design your knit wear, you can select the granny you'd like to create the fashion for your feet. Each granny has her own trademark design, and turn-times for the craft are displayed so you know exactly how quickly she can get around to sending you your cozy knitted socks. Hiring your own granny to darn socks for your feet, doesn't come cheap for approximately $45 USD with the exchange rate, but it certainly gives you a fun story to tell about how you acquired the uniquely crafted fashions.
Unfortunately, Net Granny is on hiatus right now, pending an investor willing to manage and run the fashion business. However, with so much positive press about the fashion, which is not innovative in its form, but its back story, there's no doubting that Net Granny's knitting elder's will be back to their craft shortly.
