Christmas socks

I have knitted many Christmas socks to hang up on Christmas Eve with the name and year of birth of the owner. I have knitted a few dogs and cats also. During War 2 My sister Helen and I knitted six or was eight feet Kakai mufflers for the soldiers and I found I liked to knit so I knitted scarfs for my children, baby booties. and ect and My older sister Ethel sent me a pattern to knit Christmas socks. My first efforts were bad but I got better and met many people I would not have met if I had not knitted socks for them. I was always interested in the people I knitted socks for and I remember one child even put his sock on one leg and his sister's sock on the other. I do not seem to be able to knit them now and except for not walking knitting is the only thing I really miss. I had one woman I did not know ask me to knit socks for her two grandchildren as she had Cancer and was not expected to live very long and she wanted them to remember her every Christmas. I had one family whose baby died and they wanted a sock so the would not ever forget the child. I had on who was murdered but not over the sock, I have had their pictures on the cover of a magazine. I have knitted another set when the family got a divorce and have knitted three dogs and a few cats. I have seen some much more beautiful but I liked mine and did almost 2000. I have a daughter who knits them now and she is a better knitter. I have many nice thoughts at Christmas for those I have knitted socks for.
