According to the Donegal Democrat, in 2012 the latest fashion “house” to clothe the Pope was not Pravda, Chanel or Versace but Daniel O’Donnel’s mother, Julia, who decided to knit the Pope socks when she read of the harsh winter that was expected. She used the best Donegal wool and made the Pope several pairs. Several weeks later she received a package from the Pontiff with a pair of rosary beads, a thank you note and a signed memento.
