Day 40 of 2022

This little booklet, copyright 1965, is a treasure trove of knitting patterns. 
Some of the fashion choices, especially the hats, are a bit suspect, 
but the basics of mittens, socks and gloves are great. 
I took a break from knitting my socks in the car 
(I can only knit for so long before finding myself feeling queasy) 
to actually read through the basic sock pattern. 
It has always intimidated me with all the charts
 and rows of numbers for the eight different sizes offered.
It seems quite customizable for my short foot with a high instep. 
I'll probably try this pattern for my next pair.
