Women at Risk

Today was some of the easiest charity work I've ever done.  I went to the Women At Risk Annual Luncheon at the Waldorf=Astoria in Manhattan and enjoyed good friends, good food all while helping a good cause.  My friend Carole is on the Board of WAR and invited me to join her.  I'm so glad I did.  WAR is the Breast Cancer Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, whose mission is to enhance the lives of women who are at high risk for and with breast cancer through research, education and support.

And just so you know that this is a knitting-related post, I did manage to finish my first simple sock for Secundogeniture while riding the train into Manhattan today.

This is an interesting choice of colors as my boys are half Brazilian and these are the colors of the Brazilian flag (minus the gray).

  • Sockotta Yarn
  • US Size 2 Turbo Addis
  • CO 56 sts
  • K2, P2 ribbing
  • Plain stockinette sock with simple heel flap
