I would like to talk about a special and memorable gift I gave to my grandmother when I was around 12 years old while I was studying at primary school and also living with my grandparents at the village. Therefore, around 10 days before her birthday, I started saving money to buy a pair of wool socks. One of the main reasons I chose this gift was that my grandmother’s foot often hurt when the water was cold, especially in winter and autumn. After collecting some money, I went to the market. Unfortunately, the money I had collected was only enough. I decided to purchase the wool yarn and learn how to knit the sarcaste myself. I spent three days learning the basics of knitting from TV and social media. On the night before her birthday, I stayed up from 10 pm until 4 am to finish knitting the socks. The next day, I gave this gift to my grandmother. She didn’t focus on the socks themselves. She was touched seeing my hands which were sore by knitting my tired, puffing eyes from staying up late So what is she But seeing seeing her so happy Made me make me feel extremely happy
