Socks began the year.


First knitted project for 2010 is a pair of OD regulation socks team knit with Peggy R. for Socks For Soldiers. I am so pleased that I was able to keep my commitment to send a package each month with two or more pair of socks. This dispite my broken shoulder in March. I think getting back to knitting even while in a sling helped my arm to heal. I have only a little residual damage to the use of my arm. I really think that the constant knitting helped as well as the months of physical therapy.
I was able to complete 126 projects last year with 32 pair of socks for the Socks For Soldiers project. I hope I am able to to as well this year. The team knitter who use antique knitting machines to knit the long, long legs for the regulation socks really helped to enable me to knit so many pair.
