The basics

This post always remains on top. Please scroll down for updates.
What am I doing?
Sending English kids' books to poor schools in Israel, particularly to the Bedouin schools in the Negev.

Why am I doing it?
Because I believe in giving a hand up to needy kids and in the power of communication to break down barriers.

How does this work?
I collect books from whoever has them available (maybe you?) and mail them to my contacts in Israel.

How much does it cost?
Lots! Please donate to this worthy cause and you will get a hand-knit gift for your trouble.

Who am I?
I am just a person with piles of books in her living room and an infinitely-supportive husband. Any people or organizations who want to help out are welcome to join me.

What is I want to read about your knitting and book reviews and cats?
Check out Nina's Books and Stuff. But please come back here for more Israeli Bedouin news and B4I project updates!

Knitting is...

Knitting is love.

Which is why this hand-made pair of mittens in off to Calgary to warm the hands of someone I love very very much indeed.


Knitting is fun.

Which is why I am not a certified member of the Knit, Drink, Tink blog -- a bunch of drinking knitters who get together to, um, knit and drink.

I can think of better ways of warming your hands. Growing fur on them is one.
