Book Reviews of 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders: A world of possibilities inspired by just one skein

Book Review: Buy the book cheap on Amazon!
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm still deciding wheter I like or hate this book to death.

There are a lot of cool patterns, but the yarns are very expensive and switch out yarns for a diffrent yarn can mean buying more than one skein.

What got me to hate this book slightly was the green handwarmers(the picture on the back of book) the pattern in not correct! I had to do the pattern over three times to realize it was incorrect.


By all means buy this book, if you only like one or two items(especially the green handwarmers!) skip this book and look elsewhere.

Summary of 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders: A world of possibilities inspired by just one skein

In 2006, Judith Durant delighted knitters everywhere with her collection One-Skein Wonders: 101 Yarn Shop Favorites. At last, knitters had a rich array of fun, festive patterns for all those yarn "orphans"- single skeins purchased on impulse or left over from long-finished projects.

With knitters clamoring for even more of these imaginative patterns, Durant has tapped into a wide circle of knitwear designers across the country to compile a totally fresh collection of enchanting projects. Once again, the excitement of small-scale possibility will attract knitters of all skill levels. Like its predecessor, 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders offers patterns for small projects that can be completed with a single skein of yarn.

These designer projects range from the adorable to the elegant. The book includes plenty of patterns for those never-can-have-enough items: hats, scarves, bags, and shawls. It also highlights the unexpected: a useful knitted notebook cover, a fun-to-wear mitered square belt with beads, and an elegant ring bearer pillow. There's something for everyone here - from the novice knitter to the experienced yarn artisan.

With patterns arranged by yarn weight, knitters will easily find broad ranges of possibilities for their particular single skeins. A full-color gallery features detailed photographs of all 101 projects, allowing knitters to browse through all the patterns quickly to find the perfect match for each skein.

The patterns in 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders are practical and fun. They're ideal weekend projects, perfect to give as gifts or wear and enjoy. Because they're small enough to fit in a tote bag, they're great to take on the run. Best of all, they offer simple solutions for that stash of single skeins every knitter has tucked away.

Whether the yarn was picked up on impulse - because it was on sale, or just too beautiful to resist - or left over from a project completed long ago, every skein of yarn cries out to be used. 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders offers the ultimate solution for converting those lonely skeins into knitted wonders.
