Notes: Part I: As a comic book enthusiast, and avid lover of the cinematic superhero genre I give you the Harlequin CAL. The infinite mosaic scheme is based on an argyle pattern worked flat from the foundation chain with color changes alternating between setting and contrasting colors. For the purposes of maintaining continuity between color changes, even-numbered rows will be worked with the contrasting color Atlas. Part II: The Harlequin Wrap begins with a foundation chain count of 68 stitches, while the alternate Harlequin Throw starts with a foundation chain of 200. The mosaic scheme is arranged in a rectangular wrap worked flat from the foundation chain. The mosaic scheme for the wrap pattern repeats every 12 stitches and every 54 rows, while the mosaic scheme for the throw pattern repeats every 12 stitches and every 76. Use stitch markers to help maintain pattern repetition every 54/76 rows, per written and Body Graph Pattern, if desired. Formula for starting foundation chains: [12 x (the number of repeats)] + 1 starting border stitch + 1 end border stitch + 1 stitch to make pattern mirror image/symmetrical + 4 extra (2sts left & 2sts right) pattern stitches + 1 turning chain. First and last SC are worked separate from mosaic scheme. Designed in the overlay mosaic crochet technique, color changes are worked at beginning of each row with a (slst, ch1, sc) serving to anchor work, and secured with a (sc, ch1) at the end leaving a long tail. Ch 1 at beginning and end of row does not count as a stitch and isn’t included in row stitch count or worked. Mosaic scheme repeats every 54/76 rows throughout the body. Chart is read as each row representing one crochet row in the same color. Charts are represented as worked from bottom to top and are read from right to left. No border is included with the wrap as the ends provide a playful fringe that can be kept or woven in as desired. A photo tutorial for the Harlequin CAL Wrap Pattern can be found on my Facebook page Crochet Société Community here (https://www.facebook.com/groups/491206081631878/), under the album labelled Harlequin CAL Wrap Pattern Photo Tutorial once joined here (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.367263711004285&type=3&av=149782169096033&eav=AfYLVjrC7Uxiwoa76USd_Q1Eqwovftd6PNHpDzdFN_rL28y7UgFbvHELkIaFuCEOIfM).

I had the privilege of getting to know many talented, and inspirational crocheters during the CAL held in my Facebook group from September to October of 2020. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge my incredible tester and technical editor Suyan Fang, as well as Brisa Shepherd for introducing her gorgeous Harlequin CAL mat that ultimately inspired the mosaic scheme for the Harlequin CAL Throw Pattern. I hope you’ll enjoy this pattern, lovelies – Happy Hooking!

Holiday Sweater Contest: Help your students develop their persuasive writing skills with this creative writing and art project! The task involves designing a holiday sweater for a vintage department store contest. After designing, students will use persuasive writing to convince the judges why their design deserves to win the grand prize. This resource includes: Detailed lesson plans for two days (or stretch it out over several days) Small group warm-up activity to engage students and review persuasive writing skills Engaging project assignment poster explaining the "contest" to students Student planning and project pages Grading rubrics Example of the completed project You can finish this activity in one to three class periods depending on your available time. I have included a suggested lesson plan sequence for two days. Students complete a planning page after a fun small group activity to review persuasive writing. Completing the planning page will allow you to assess their understanding of persuasive writing before beginning the final project.  The final project choices are differentiated. The first option has room for the sweater design and writing all on one page. For the second option, students draw their sweater designs on a separate half-size sheet of paper. They can use the matching lined paper to write, or students can type the final project.   You can choose to grade the planning page and project page as one grade together or only grade the finished writing project (final project page). I created grading rubrics for both choices! Please check the detailed previews (PDF and Video) for more information.

About the Book A year's worth of classic, imaginative knitting projects from "one of America's most ingenious and creative knitters." Sweaters, baby items, blankets, mittens, moccasins, more. 35 illustrations. Book Synopsis "One of America's most ingenious and creative knitters." -- Barbara G. Walker, author of Treasury of Knitting Patterns.Elizabeth Zimmerman once wrote, "So please bear with me, and put up with my opinionated, nay, sometimes cantankerous attitude. I feel strongly about knitting." Perhaps her passionate opinions, as well as her love of wool craft and her delightful style, hark back to her English upbringing or long residence in the Wisconsin woods; in any case, the "Busy Knitter," as she calls herself, is one of the most charming and informative, as well as "un"ventive (her word) knitter-authors anywhere. This book gives full scope to her tireless imagination through a year's worth of projects, fitted to the seasons, moods, and needs of knitters who would like to design their own work.The year begins with an Aran sweater and proceeds to February baby things, a March Shetland, April blanket, May mittens, and so on through the months, completing the zodiac with November moccasin socks and a December last-minute wishbone sweater. Projects are completed in the midst of canoe trips, fishing expeditions, travel, and snowstorms. The author continuously comments on the project, its history, other ancient and modern customs, and personal beliefs.Mrs. Zimmerman works step by step with the reader, suggesting alternative methods and ideas as she goes. Her patterns are "classic," historically suited to wool, thus remaining ever-fashionable as well as tasteful and attractive. The knitter may easily adapt the designs at will, creating new, individual projects. Mrs. Zimmerman's hints (such as how to measure gauge when working a pattern and tips for baby's items) help ease the way and will instruct even the most experienced knitter. This corrected edition of the Knitter's Almanac will provide at the very least a year's worth of knitting pleasure to intermediate and advanced knitters and may even help stimulate a knitting passion.

About the Book Inexpensive guide for re-creating 32 crocheted masterpieces from the 1940s and 50s. Illustrations and easy-to-follow instructions for making lacy cobwebs, gossamer "Wagon Wheels," Windmill Wings, Ring of Roses, Morning Glory, more. Book Synopsis In the 1940s and 1950s, lacy crocheted doilies were at their peak in popularity. Frequently used to accent interior decor, these delicate cobwebs of finely worked threads could be made quickly and with little effort. Thread companies turned out thousands of inexpensive instruction booklets for needleworkers constantly looking for new ideas. Today, renewed interest in hand-crocheted items has once again created a demand for these elegantly simple ― and simply elegant ― doilies. With this eye-catching collection of patterns taken from now-rare thread company publications, modern needleworkers can re-create stunning designs for a variety of projects. Noted needlework authority Rita Weiss has selected 32 masterpieces in miniature that are as suitable for framing as they are for use as centerpieces, placemats, cushion covers, and much more. Patterns include the pansy doily, Spanish fan, morning glory, double ruffle doily, pineapple posy, ripe wheat runner, windmill wings, ring of roses, new daisy doily, sea foam, leafy spray, pinwheel trio, and twenty other exquisite motifs. This inexpensive and easy-to-follow guide also provides helpful tips for beginners―with abundant advice on selecting materials and working the pattern, as well as on the care and handling of heirloom pieces that will be passed on lovingly from generation to generation.

About the Book A new and expanded edition featuring additional interviews and an 8-page color insert celebrating the renowned artist. Book Synopsis "Meredith Monk is one of the most important composers alive. I remember hearing her Dolmen Music as a teenager. It most definitely provided me with one of my musical DNAs... As a person she is a fierce spirit, optimistic, spiritual, and soulful." --Björk "If Monk is seeking a place in the classical firmament, classical music has much to learn from her. She conveys a fundamental humanity and humility that is rare in new-music circles." --Alex Ross, The New Yorker "Meredith Monk has given new voice to the spirit, knit the word together with her universal vision to music, and balanced movement and stillness in ways that illuminate and transform us all. Eternity will never be the same." --Pico Iyer This expanded edition of Conversations with Meredith Monk offers a fascinating portrait of the internationally renowned composer, performer, director, and filmmaker, from her early years to the present. It has now been updated to include discussion of her latest music-theatre work, Cellular Songs, and a work-in-progress, Indra's Net, in addition to the recent revival of her opera Atlas at the Los Angeles Philharmonic--a work that the New York Times critic called "her masterpiece and one of the defining operatic experiments of the 20th century"--and the showing of the remastered film of Monk's great work Quarry. The five long conversations that comprise the volume part of PAJ's "Performance Ideas" series, generate invaluable insights into artistic process, the human voice, interrelationships of time, space, and music, and the complexity of artistic legacies. What is a "contemporary" work? How does an artwork retain its integrity of form over time? In these deeply engaging conversations, Monk speaks in great detail on her creation of music-theatre works, operas, and films, reflecting on the large-cast theatrical works and the more recent poetically distilled, abstract pieces. In her preface to the new edition, "Performance as a Life Science," Bonnie Marranca writes: "Now, against the background of life in extremis, it is evident that Monk had already acknowledged both the always unknown future and the resilience of human beings. For decades her body of work has been rooting itself in the recurrent themes of spiritual quest (Songs of Ascension), healing (The Politics of Quiet), compassion (mercy), plague (Book of Days), fragility of life (impermanence), cultural identity (Ellis Island), historical trauma (Quarry), ecology (On Behalf of Nature), and community (Cellular Songs)." The volume also includes an eight-page color insert. Review Quotes "If Monk is seeking a place in the classical firmament, classical music has much to learn from her. She conveys a fundamental humanity and humility that is rare in new-music circles."--Alex Ross "New Yorker""Meredith Monk has given new voice to the spirit, knit the word together with her universal vision to music, and balanced movement and stillness in ways that illuminate and transform us all. Eternity will never be the same."--Pico Iyer"Meredith Monk is one of the most important composers alive. I remember hearing her Dolmen Music as a teenager. It most definitely provided me with one of my musical DNAs ... As a person she is a fierce spirit, optimistic, spiritual, and soulful."--Björk"Meredith Monk is one of American Music's greatest treasures and most original voices. I cherish her brave, singular creative journey."--Rick Moody About the Author Bonnie Marranca is the author of the essay collections Performance Histories, Ecologies of Theatre, and Theatrewritings.

About the Book "Max isn't a typical cat, but his loving owner still sees the best in him"-- Book Synopsis Two-time Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall spins a winning tale about Max, a feline whose behavior doesn't win any raves, except from the boy who believes in him and finds a way to turn a negative into a positive. When a boy is FINALLY allowed to get a cat, he has no doubts about which one to bring home from the shelter. But Max the cat isn't quite what the family expected. He shuns the toy mouse, couldn't care less about the hand-knitted sweater, and spends most of his time facing the wall. One by one, the family gives up on Max, but the boy loves his negative cat so much, he'll do anything to keep him. Even the thing he dreads most: practicing his reading. Which, as it turns out, makes everything positive! Review Quotes "Humorous, heartwarming." --People Magazine "A must-read for anyone that loves cats, books, and reading." --Brightly "[An] adorable and sweet picture book." --Book Riot "Sometimes things aren't what they seem at first. . . . Understated text brings a dry sense of humor to the child's plight. . . . An author's note describes the true event on which this story is based and offers readers ideas on how they can go read to animals. A humorous tale in which everyone gets what they want--even a negative cat!" --Kirkus Reviews "Max is, of course, adorable, and the discovery that reading to animals can benefit both the children who read and the animals who listen is the story's hidden treasure." --Publishers Weekly "[Blackall's] illustrations, 'created digitally and superimposed on the reverse side of vintage wallpaper salvaged from a falling-down house, ' have a charmingly old-school feel, deepened by the dull-toned color palette and design choices. A touching story that adds depth to the usual sweet humor of cat books." --Booklist "A boy's new pet starts out as a problem and becomes the solution to another problem in Sophie Blackall's droll and commiserative picture book." --Shelf Awareness"This entertaining tale is a tribute to animal rescue shelters--and to literacy. . . . The many eye-catching details in Blackall's fine-lined illustrations invite close inspection. . . . Blackall expertly captures body language and extracts a lot of humor from the surly cat, especially when comparing him to the animated pet-owner: we see the child attempt to connect ("I tell him all my best jokes. He doesn't even smile"); the cat is shown with his back to readers, staring at the wall or rudely putting his tail in a stick of butter. As a result, it's immensely rewarding to see the connection that occurs when the boy starts to read (and to enjoy it!) and Max crawls closer to cuddle. A positive and satisfying tale." --Horn Book "This readaloud is an excellent depiction of the drawbacks of cat ownership, from cleaning up unwanted messes to only receiving affection when it's desired by the feline party, but its message that cats are still worth keeping around (and make particularly good reading buddies) is both sweet and helpful to would-be cat owners with certain expectations. The digital art has a vintage look." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books About the Author Sophie Blackall has illustrated more than thirty books, including the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books Big Red Lollipop and The Baby Tree, which she also wrote.
