No time for photos today except this one. I have a church friend who is 99 years old. I take him a meal every now and again and sit and talk with him. He mentioned his feet stay very cold and I asked if he would wear a pair of socks if I knit them. He said he didn't want anything too wild. I had this ball of yarn in my stash. Imagine my surprise when the blue turned to purple. I knit them anyway and ended up running out of yarn before I could finish the toes, so finished them up with some gray yarn. I took them to him, asked him if they were too wild and he said no. He said he planned to wear them. I was happy. Not everyone is knit-worthy.
My Hubby loves my mom's homemade knit socks.
Mom says that Hubby is the only one to appreciate them so you are correct in saying that not everyone is knit-worthy!
You are so thoughtful and generous Kathy. I know what you mean about everyone being knit worthy. It’s a lot of time and effort to put into some thing for someone who doesn’t appreciate it. Bob is one lucky fella. great shot of your socks
That was so sweet and thoughtful of you. I know how much your visits, meals and now these socks mean to someone homebound- but I'm pretty sure it's your visits that mean the most to him. I visit a lot of people in my job so I know how important the human connection is! They look so comfy and warm!
How nice that you made these socks yourself. This is more appreciated than the best from the store. Bob will now feel warm not only in his legs but also in his heart. I also know how much happiness the act of giving gifts alone can bring us. You are a wonderful, empathetic person and I am glad that you are my friend.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I hope he enjoys wearing them and they keep his tootsies warm. @haskar Thank you so much Hannah. I sure appreciate your comments.
