Doing my bit

I recently came across this sign from wartime whilst out and it made me smile
 
 
Not sure they would want my latest finish though, perhaps a little too bright to go into army issue boots!
 
 
Wool is West Yorkshire Spinners in conjunction with Christine @ Winwick Mum
This colourway is Brightside
 
I'm keeping this pair for my entry into the local Horticultural and Craft show in September
 
Love and blessings

    Beautifully knitted and matched. I love the brightness, they look very comfy and warm being wool.

    Why wouldn't those socks go into army issue boots if they were being worn by a "female" army person? They are gorgeous & I too love that poster. Take care.

    Love your colourful socks and what a sign! Apart from Knit & Natter groups and regular sock knitters, I wonder if many skills have been lost eg jam making, make do & mend, digging for victory etc Cx
