    About

    During WWll my Mom knit wool socks for my Dad who was stationed in Europe. I did some research about 8 years ago and realized there was still a great need for warm items in Afghanistan.....I for the life of me can not get the sock thing....making them the same size is a challenge...but I sure can knit hats. I have made over 800 hats to date and still knitting!
