This last Christmas, I heard from Alexandra A. from Missouri. She knitted 100 pairs of warm slippers, which she sold for $15 per pair, payable by check to the Salvation Army. She raised $1,500 for the Salvation Army!
I am dazzled by this effort! What a lot of knitting, and what a wonderful charity to help! I've heard people say time and again that they do so much for so many people in genuine need.
Alexandra sent a photo of her slippers:
The pattern is in the book Footnotes. Alexandra's yarn is pretty, isn't it? She says it was regular worsted self-striping yarn from her local Hobby Lobby. I like the way she changed colors to put different colors on the top and bottom of the foot.
