My granny knitted all the time. The uncles got socks, with very fancy patterns. I got stockings! I needed a liberty bodice with suspenders so that I could wear them. This was in the 1950's. I think I was the only girl in the school with knitted stockings. My cousins and I also got jumpers, cardigans and hats. My mother also knitted, as do I and one of my DDs. Long may the tradition continue.
