A historical note (I have not looked at the book or I will be late for work): people were definitely knitting for soldiers during the second world war, or at least someone in my family was. In high school, even, not just at home! I thought she'd said it was gloves, but maybe socks too? Now I'm curious; I'll go ask next time I see her.
