Sock Horror in jail
It has been brought to my attention this week that on BBC Radio4's Midweek programme one of the guests was a certain Ray Materson, an artist who filled his time making detailed embroidery panels out of coloured threads pulled from socks. Apparently the conversation touched on there always being odd socks, but they all missed the startling revelation that, even in the secure environment of an American prison wing, Doldrites can come and go unnoticed and steal prisoners' socks.
The upside of this story is that although doldrites were at work in Ray's wing they almost certainly were exposed to his masterpieces and had to confront traumatic scenes of thier siblings reduced to thier most base state...great job Mr Materson, particularly as he had to work in secret because his work was technically "contraband" being something made from something else which was not its original purpose...extra credit to ya!
