Knitting in China


Fred's socks should be getting to him today or soon--I hope! I mailed them Dec. 1st and USPS said it would take 8-10 business days for them to get to China. His apartment is without heat again and I think he could use the warm socks! He said he was layering his clothing (4 shirts & his jacket today!) to keep warm. I think I'll do a vest for him for Chinese New Year and maybe fingerless mitts. He sent a photo of a group of Chinese women knitting. Even tho they are inside a building, they all have on their coats. And check out the knitting needles! I don't know yet what they are working on, but I think they could use some shorter needles!! (I just learned that they may be using bicycle wheel spokes as needles!)
