knit your bit

The Red Cross has made some of its WWII knitting patterns available for download. I acquired a bunch of these fragile leaflets in a stack of “vintage” knitting patterns that belonged to my great-grandmother. She’s written notes in the margins to help herself along. Unfortunately, Gran-mother doesn’t mention anything about what the “Red Cross needle gauge for socks” is. Either way, they are fun to look at.

Now I am off to start the front of the gray vest.
