Christmas socks

I used to love to knit Christmas socks. I received a card from my daughter Susan with Christmas socks in a neat row. She is a great knitter. My daughter Sally had socks on her blog yesterday. One of the fast ones I knitted was for my first granddaughter as I think I knitted on the plane ride to Washington when she was born. I have had them on the cover of a magazine and they gave me a lot of pleasure to knit. I have cards on everyone and I have knitted almost 2000. I do not knit well now so have retired from knitting. During the last war my sister, Helen, and I knitted scarfs for the army. After the war I tried knitting other things. We had a fair in Topeka and I went to the knitting showcase and looked to see what had the fewest entries and then by the next year I knitted something, I think it was men's gloves, and won a blue ribbon and five dollars. My sister Ethel gave me a pattern for the socks and I was off on my new hobby. I wish I could still do it.
