Book Description
This book is all about love. It is the story of a family and its Collie dog, Beauty, as told by the dog. Beauty is a Rough Collie, with a classic layered coat and a real attitude. The theme of the story is the love of the family's children for Beauty and the return of that love by the Collie. In the story, the volume of Beauty’s coat shedding presents many challenges, but also opportunities for the children’s creativity. Jack and Kate collect the fur, shed by Beauty, until it fills their clothes closets. Mom’s discovery of this treasure starts the adventure of finding a solution to “saving this part of Beauty”. The family, and the extended family, must work together to produce a creative solution. And so, this story was born! This is a Read Aloud book for children ages 3 -11, and their parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, who will read this book to them until they are able to read it for themselves. Additional activities and learning opportunities are included at the end of the story. These were provided by Primary school specialist Carollynn Desjardins. Young readers will enjoy the search and find puzzle in which they look for Beauty’s paw print hidden in each of the 24 colourful illustrations. This search will help the story come alive for the children.

Folk Mittens
Author: Marcia Lewandowski
Publisher: Interweave
ISBN:
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Clothing for the fingers receives special treatment in this collection of 48 mitten patterns from all over the world. In fact, Lewandowski attempted to find at least one representative pattern for every cold-weather region--and has, for the most part, succeeded (except for the Far East and northern Africa). Geography and history lessons are also in evidence; we learn about Scandinavian and northern islanders' occupations, hobbies, and peculiar knitting habits (the process of felting wool for additional warmth and the technique of tufting, among others). Plus, each of the four dozen designs, though not labeled by level of difficulty, includes graphs or charts and adequate text to follow and is accompanied by good color photographs. A handoff for intermediate and advanced knitters. - Barbara Jacobs; 120p-

Robin Hansen can justifiably claim to be the person who started the groundswell of interest in roots knitting patterns for mittens.

It was followed by a second, equally inspiring collection: Flying Geese & Partridge Feet: More Mittens from Up North & Down East. Favorite Mittens is a compilation of some of the most popular traditional designs from Robin's groundbreaking first two books, presenting these tried-and-true patterns in a new format, with step-by-step directions revised and updated for ease of knitting, thanks to the helpful feedback Robin has gotten from the knitters who flock to her workshops all around the country.
