Why didn't I think of this before?
Oct. 5th, 2006 09:23 amI've recently considered knitting a project for charity and was looking for a program. I found a few, but today I discovered that I can do something closer to home.
As those of you who've been to my place know, there is a Wawa on 2nd street about half a block from my building. There's this particular homeless man who sits nearby frequently.1 He was actually one of the first people I met when I moved here, and when I see him, I usually give him a little money and talk to him. I think he appreciates the conversation more than the money, to be honest. He also does little odd jobs here and there for money or spare clothes. Someone recently gave him a winter coat and comforter for one of those.
However, he does not have any socks. I plan to buy him some socks when I go on my shopping trip this weekend. But I think he would really appreciate getting a pair of hand-knitted socks, so when I'm done with what I'm making right now, I will make him a worsted-weight pair.
