Essentially,

shipping costs would have killed any margin

and local wasn't working.

So I took the downtime I had at a night job

and made double fleece no sew tie blankets

and handed them out to fellow homeless people

after shift one morning

at a food pantry

when the frosts were hitting.

I made about two dozens people's mornings with a clean new blanket

while waiting in the cold.

Yesterday,

I saw a homeless person walking down the street

with one of those blankets.
身上还披着那时我做的毯子
The fabric choice,
质地精良
my poor technique,
手艺粗糙
all of it.
正是出自我手
I'm sure I've never seen this person before

so that blanket went on a journey
那条毯子必是几经转手,经过了一趟旅程
and is still providing comfort to someone.
