Knitting Nostalgia











I found this awesome little knitting kit on the American Red Cross website.
I couldn't resist. I ordered it one day and it arrived the next. Talk about service!
Check out the contents!











It comes complete with the 1940's knitting pattern for "Serviceman's Socks", 4 orange plastic knitting needles, a finishing needle and one 4oz skein of "Olive Drab" wool yarn. You betcha that's 100% wool! All in a handy, dandy little tin box.

There is also a little story about knitting socks for the Second World War.











It is completely patriotic and inspiring enough to make one want to "knit your bit".
