...there's an organization here called "Senior Santas"...it brings some Christmas cheer to our underprivileged Senior citizens who would otherwise have no Christmas present or visit...
...so we picked a card...#36...it's for Betty...and she's a vegetarian...imagine that...
...and all she wants for Christmas is food...and that...my friends...is hard to imagine...
...so we went shopping and bought dozens of cans of food...I checked about the frozen food she requested and the facility has no way to store that and make sure it stays frozen until it can be delivered...so we just went with canned...
...and then because canned food doesn't sound very Christmas present-ish to me...
...I got busy knitting her a pair of Christmas-y booties...
...it's my
Super Simple Stockinette Stitch Slippers pattern...available on the sidebar or
from Ravelry too...
...in a pretty Candy Cane colour...it's actually one strand of a worsted weight red held together with one strand of a super soft pink...both leftovers from baby blankets...
here and
here...
...I hope Betty had a very Merry Christmas!...
...and I hope you did as well...Blessings and Peace be with you this Christmas season...
~Have a lovely day!
I would think that the food will be very welcome but the slippers will be a lovely surprise!
