This Mrs. Betty Christopher, whom I lived across the street from growing up. She is definitely one of the sweetest women I have ever known. I had a chance to catch up with her when I went home for Mother’s Day a few weeks ago. She was busy knitting, but took a few minutes off to spend a little with me (but not before I could take a few photographs!).
She is known as much for her girlish grin as she is for her homemade blankets and other knitted goodies. She’s an outstanding cook and just one heck of woman. As you can tell, I’m quite fond of her. As a high school graduation gift (ahem … 15 years ago), she made me a throw blanket. However, this is no ordinary blanket. It has a square pouch on end so that you can fold it into a pillow, which DOUBLES as a pocket for your feet! Genius, I know! I still have and use that blanket.
