'Scoodie' comes from the combination of the words scarf and hoodie - and it is taking the world by storm! Magdalena Melzer and Anne Thiemeyer have created 20 scoodie designs that are not only fabulous fashion accessories, but their chunky crocheted yarns will keep both your neck and head wonderfully warm and cosy.

The projects range from the classy and chic to the more casual and creative. With so much variety to choose from, you're sure to find the right style to suit you. There are only two sizes of crochet hook required for every design in the book; and all the projects are graded by difficulty, meaning that, no matter what your crochet ability is, there really is something for everyone. There is even a helpful step-by-step basic crochet guide and techniques for making pom-poms and tassels.

Anne Thiemeyer's love of needlework began when she was a child when her aunt taught her crocheting, knitting and embroidery. Today she has turned her hobby into a career. After completing her studies in textile design, she worked in various editorial departments, while specialising in her favourite craft - crochet. Since 2000, Anne has worked as a freelance designer and consultant for various publishers and yarn suppliers.

As a child, Magdalena Melzer loved to spend hours sewing colourful buttons and developing her love for craft and creativity. When her own children arrived, Magdalena rediscovered crocheting again and the magic of brightly coloured yarns. In 2012, she launched her own label, Curlyz, a small enterprise with a grand passion for designing and crocheting using diverse colour combinations. In every free moment, you can be sure to find her crocheting between mountains of wool, surrounded by many colourful crochet creations.

A million-copy bestseller, The Fifth Discipline reveals how systems thinking can transform the culture of any organisation.

We cannot afford to view organisations as mechanical structures where each worker is just a cog in a machine. On an individual level, this thinking snuffs out our curiosity, and on an organisational level, it inhibits us from recognising the true value of our co-workers. How do we instead create organisations that are living, breathing and dynamic?

In The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge introduces the principles every organisation needs to expand its creative capacity, nurture new patterns of thinking and learn collaboratively  all to make the whole organisation more effective than the sum of its parts. Mastering the disciplines will:

- Reignite the spark of learning, driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
- Transform mere teamwork into a culture of collective creativity, or macro-creativity
- Liberate team members from confining assumptions and mindsets

Drawing on science, spiritual values, psychology and case studies from leading companies like Apple, Harley-Davidson and Shell, this bestselling business classic is the definitive guide to growth, personal development and management coaching.
