... By which I mean 'prose'!
Sorry, my bad.
Hello, Elliott! Thanks for asking.
In the context of Passing Strange, I'm absolutely happy to consider submissions of narrative verse. It seems an apt form to use for Arthurian tales, and if it's good it's good! However, I should add that I anticipate the anthology will mostly feature fiction.
Humanists UK have put together education resources for primary school learners, including a profile on E. M. Forster (and his humanism):

Oh, they're terrific! It's always good to see other takes on a story that feels both familiar and strange...
I'll definitely be in touch again about possible artwork once the stories are more settled.
Thank you so much, Tam! We couldn't do this without readers, too - absolutely! - but maybe the Muse will wake from their slumbers...?

Thank you very kindly, Remco!
The anthology is already starting to shape up nicely... but I'm always looking for more of The Good Stuff.

>> knit/purl exactly the same number of rows for each.
If it makes more sense to you to work on A, B and C separately, then go ahead until they're each an inch long. But remember to count your rows, so you will make sure they're all the same length.
You've got this! π§Ά
Yes, that's what it means.
Though it's saying to progress them all at the same time. That is, for the next row, purl across C, then join another ball of yarn so you can purl across B, then join a third ball of yarn so you can purl across A.
The two key things are to keep each bit separate and >>
A humanist is a person who recognises this life is the only life we know we have, and therefore, resolves to live a moral and fulfilling life in the here and now, based on the inherent human capacity for compassion, and a desire to do good on its own merit. Being a humanist is simply a way of thinking and living that emphasises humanity's capacity and responsibility to promote human flourishing across all frontiers, to protect the natural world, and to work towards a more tolerant society, where rational thinking and kindness prevail.
What does it mean to be a humanist, anyway?
