My World & It's Full Of Books.: May 2014
http://mlh860.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
My World and Its Full Of Books. Four sweaters in two weeks. The timeperiod wasn't that short overall, but some serious procrastinating made it seem so. I had two sweaters partially done, but the prospect of finishing all four in time was daunting. Why did I have such a deadline? There is a group called Mittens for Akkol. That makes warm items for the children in orphanages from which a number of the women have adopted children. The orphanages are in Kazahkstan, so it gets COLD. It was clear that the only...

My World & It's Full Of Books.: April 2014
http://mlh860.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
My World and Its Full Of Books. Ten on Tuesday - Things I Like To Do Outside. My friend Mary Kay. Periodically posts her lists, and every so often I am inclined to as well. This is actually. But I didn't see it then and last week wasn't very good for outdoors (due to us getting a snowstorm, yes, in mid-April), so since Carole is on vacation this week thus did not post a new list, I think it is OK for me to use this theme. My blog, my rules. Ten Things I Like To Do Outside. Ziplines and flying squirrels.

An Old German's Knit Blog: February 2013
http://anoldgermansknitblog.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
An Old German's Knit Blog. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Short-rows, short-rows everywhere. I found a German sock pattern booklet on Amazon called " Twist-Socken stricken. Which provides children in three Kazakhstan orphanages with warm hand-knitted clothing. Here is the first pair of socks knit from these patterns. The name of the socks is "Leichter Einstieg" or "Simple Beginnings." Each pair is knit with a multi-colored and a solid yarn. Knit on, merrily! Wednesday, February 27, 2013. And we have sun!

An Old German's Knit Blog: September 2013
http://anoldgermansknitblog.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
An Old German's Knit Blog. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. I am still trying to catch up with photos of finished socks. Here are two more pairs ready to be taken to Kazakhstan by the founder of the Motherless Child Foundation. I am still having fun finding odds and ends and putting them to good use. This pair was knit with some hand-dyed navy blue yarn and scraps of unknown origin. Of course the hand-dyed portion was master-minded once again by my daughter. Aren't these luscious colors? More socks to come.
