who are knitting very tall black socks (army regulation color) for our soldiers overseas. It's a bit like the Red Cross knitting circles, where groups of women knit the dark olive green socks for the men. There are some interesting vintage patterns on this site. Now, there are both women and men in the military who are receiving the gifts of socks, and women and men knitting them. Hoping that this will also bring a bit of comfort to me as well, as my son Kevin joined the Army, leaving home in the early morning hours of July 5th.
While I'm waiting for the black yarn to arrive, am busy working on Dad's medium blue socks. Sorry Dad, this is only my second pair of "Man socks", I'm hoping that they fit!
