My grandfather suffered from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of being a stretcher bearer in WW1 and he knitted socks as part of his recovery. I was taught to knit by my mother and grandmothers and we have all benefitted from knitting therapy when life is stressful. I now regularly knit socks as gifts to family and friends, remembering the courage and humanity of my grandfather and those who helped in his recovery.
