Bed sock bonanza for Wyoming ladies

At the age of 83, Myra Corbett of Springfield still loves to knit.

Earlier this year she started knitting most beautiful colourful bed socks and decided to donate a pair to each of the ladies at Chamberlain Gardens Aged Care at Wyoming.

Armed with 60 pairs of socks she visited Chamberlain Gardens just before Mother’s Day and discovered that there were 84 ladies living there.

So she went home and kept on knitting until she had a pair for every lady.

She delivered the bed socks in a large suitcase and manager Sandile Nzimande accepted them gratefully.

To show his appreciation of her hard work and great kindness he invited Myra and her friend and neighbour Veronica Coyne to be his guests at the Christmas in July lunch held on Tuesday, July 12, where she met some of the residents and received a warm thank you from Nzimande.
