Contributing knitting supplies to the troops is a wonderful idea, bless your hearts. <br /><br />The Slatts Belt method does sound extremely useful. I believe you can contact Staff Sgt. Sorich through his old battalion, and they'll forward messages to him. <br /><br />Thanks for the link!

I will certainly consider contributing knitting supplies to the troops in our company's annual Christmas Stocking Shipment, in addition to whatever knitted items we can manage as well.

I have a 1943 pamphlet, "Knit for Victory: Warm Wools for the Long Watch," which I would be happy to send to Sgt. Sorich. The "Heartwarmers for Your Hero" include patterns for a dickey, an assortment of sweaters, a balaclava, handwarmers, socks, a watch cap, gloves, and mittens.
