Mary
Scott Huff, author of Fantastical Hats to Knit (CPi, 2014)
began as a
classically trained actor and theatrical costume designer,
but
accidentally became a computer programmer somewhere along
the way. In
writing her first two books, The New Stranded
Colorwork, and Teach
Yourself Visually Color Knitting, Mary fled
the realm of Information
Technology to pursue a more
yarn-centered way of life. The many friends
she found along the
way have helped her become a nationally-recognized
designer,
teacher and author. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Mary
shares
a wee little house there with her husband, two children, some
Scottish Terriers, and more yarn than is strictly necessary. You can
join Mary on her adventures playing with string
In my opinion:
This book was creative and wacky at the same time. I could get a
sense of the author's personality as I flipped through the pages of
Fun and Fantastical Hats to knit. I'm sure Mary is playful yet
imaginative. Even the first page had a few sentences from Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland, "Do you think I've gone round the
bend?" Alice answered, "I'm afraid so..."
My favorite hats were the Architeuthis which had a fun story about
the character, "Archie" and the Tea Party hat. The best part about
the hats was that you can have your kids play dressup for hours on
end. Or I'm pretty sure the child inside will come out when you put
on the crown royal hat. Ever want to be a king for a day? I also
liked the large maple leafs and thought they would look good on a
wreath.
I agree with Mary, "Every hat is a work of art." She has shown her
talent through her designs. There were twenty different hats to
choose from and I know you will find one or two that you will
love to knit.
