Ralph Lauren - A Short Biography of a Well-known American Style Designer





Afghans for Afghans is a popular charity for knitters and crocheters, which sends knit goods to children and families in Afghanistan, ranging from vests and sweaters to, yes, afghans.
This summer the group is looking for knit socks in sizes ranging from about a 7-year-old child’s to adult women’s. They say that’s a foot length ranging from about 6.5 inches to 10 inches. As usual, they’re looking for items knit with wool or other animal fibers (it gets really cold in Afghanistan!) and they suggest knitting with worsted weight yarn or two strands of sock yarn held together for extra warmth.
Might I suggest whipping up some of my Worsted Cable Socks? They’re about 8.5 inches long in the foot, which is a good size for teens to small-footed adults (they could easily be made shorter as well). The great thing about worsted socks is that they’re really quick to knit, which is great for this project, because they think they’ll only be looking for socks until the end of July. For more information on knitting guidelines and where to send your finished socks, check out the main Afghans for Afghans campaign page.
The Youth 3 Striped Nylon soccer socks from Pro Feet® are premium athletic socks packed with many features and benefits. This sock has a non-binding, non-raveling welt top for comfort and durability, plus there’s extra leg room built in for comfort, as well as when you’re wearing shin guards. Firm ankle and arch support provides a better fit and prevents slippage, and both the heel and toe are reinforced for long-lasting wear.
We bought these for our son who plays soccer, I think they would still be too big for my husband who plays soccer! They are huge! Nice quality but to big to be considered youth in my opinion. — Extremely Large
