 | Fritz Kreisler by Amy Biancolli
Fritz Kreisler was the last, best ambassador of nineteenth-century Vienna to a twentieth-century world. Because he had no formal instruction on the violin past the age of twelve, Kreisler was able to develop a completely personal style that, together with his mystical, romantic approach to music, made him universally admired. His endearing girl for storytelling led to the musical scandal that arose when he admitted in mid-career to having authored more than a dozen pieces that he had been presenting for years as arrangements of long-lost works by eighteenth-century composers.

 | Hats On! by Charlene Schurch
It is amazing how many different ways knitters the world over have devised for keeping our heads covered! Drawing on these many traditions, Charlene Schurch has designed an outstanding assortment of hats to fit heads of all sizes and tastes of all kinds. Beginning with the most basic model -- the solid-color watch cap -- she moves on to designs with fancy textures or striking color combinations. Several of the hats use clever methods of creating double- triple- and even quadruplethick fabric to make the hats super warm and windproof. Andean, Turkish, Scandinavian, and British traditions all appear in this treasury of beautiful headgear. You'll find hats with car flaps, ornamented cuffs, no cuffs at all; caps with stripes, stars, knitted- in initials; children's and adult's sizes; a fez, a tasseled jester's cap -- even tiny hats for Christmas ornaments. Charlene Schurch is a Knitting Guild of America Certified Master Knitter. Her articles have appeared in Piecework and other knitting magazines, she is also the author of a forthcoming book on Russian Mittens. AUTHOR: Charlene Schurch
