Dog lovers will go barking wild for this addition to the popular
Edward's Menagerie series, with 65 beginner-friendly patterns for
crocheting adorable pups.
Bring your favorite four-legged friends to life with these 65 crochet
patterns for everything from elegant Afghan hounds to oh-so-cute
schnauzers and including crossbreeds like the puggle and the cockapoo.

full-color photography that showcases the completed crocheted projects.
In addition, author Kerry Lord shows you how to customize each pattern
so that you can capture your own beloved canine companion – whatever
breed it is.
Follow-up to the eagerly awaited Alexandra’s Garden Flowers. Here
are 30 friendly vegetables waiting to be brought to life by hook
and yarn. The array includes orange Pumpkin, yellow Corn on the Cob
and red Cherry Tomatoes. In this new book, Kerry Lord heads for the
allotment or veg patch to produce delightfully colourful crocheted
produce. No digging needed and the slugs will never eat all your
seedlings! The 30 patterns include Curly Kale, Radish, Cabbage,
Avocado, Artichoke, Peas in a Pod, Bell Pepper, Okra and Garlic.
These charming amigurumi-like figures are sometimes crocheted
whole, and sometimes seen in ‘sliced’ view so, for example, you
get the avocado with a 3D central stone and the lovely veining
within a red cabbage. As with Kerry’s flowers, alternative
colours give you many variations, too. Kerry’s TOFT brand has
produced three new yarn colours especially for this book –
Beetroot, Aubergine and Kale – to enable you to crochet a rainbow
of roots and shoots.You have the option of adding legs to
personalise your veg, if you like, and Kerry shows you how to add
personality by embroidering eyes too. Kerry includes step-by-step
instructions and charts for each vegetable, including how to
assemble and finish, plus a guide to all the basic crochet and
sewing techniques needed, so this book is perfect for all skill
levels. There’s even a Practice Potato so you can hone your
skills before going on to bigger projects. Also in this series,

Districts and schools often count on coaching to promote student
learning and organizational change. Across the United States, a
wide variety of coaches engage in various types of work with
teachers as well as school leaders. But coaching is often loosely
defined, weakly supported, and ultimately underutilized and, as a
consequence, its promise and potential have not been fully
realized. In this book, the authors address misconceptions about
the goals of coaching, what it involves, and how it aligns with
reform efforts. They advance a new, coherent framing of coaching as
a lever for strategic, equitable school improvement. Bridging
research, theory, policy, and practice, this book provides insights
to help educational reformers and district and school leaders
strengthen the structures and activities of coaching. This timely
book illustrates how to make coaching matter by assembling
infrastructure and creating conditions so that coaching advances
change in robust, sustaining, and equitable ways. Book Features:
Provides useful information for educational leaders whose expertise
may not extend to coaching, including tools and reflective
questions. Offers a strong theoretical and research-based
foundation, along with the authors' collective experience as
researchers and practitioners and the voices of coaches and other
educational leaders. Advocates for a coaching model that supports a
district's overall strategy for centering equity and improving
student learning. Describes how to build capacity and continuously
improve coaching, and how to support coaching through leadership,
logistics, and resources.
