netGranny is a revolutionary service where consumers directly commission grandmothers in switzerland to custom-knit socks for them. it has the spirit of transparency of programs like dole’s organic labels, with the mass customization you would expect from local experts, all the while supporting elderly people to make an independent income. this is something i’d like to see expanded to other crafts and countries where it could make an even bigger difference.
