This is one of my favorite books from my childhood. It's about a poor couple who live in a tumble down house and
have only turnips to eat. They wish for cheese and milk but have no money. So the wife knits a pair of socks from
the husband's sweater to trade with their neighbors for milk and cheese. The wife does this several more times until
her husband's sweater is all gone. The other wife had been knitting a sweater for her husband from the socks, but
the sweater ended up being too big, so she gives the sweater to her neighbor who doesn't have one.
