"This book is a terrific teaching tool for getting children started on knitting. This book has step-by-step instructions - including photos of the steps - for knitting, spindle spinning, joining (seams that look seamless) and many other techniques. It also has some fun projects for kids, everything from headbands with animal ears to bracelets, scarves, tote bags and monsters. There's even a bow tie and a sweater." - In StitchesMore details

Person
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.
