Book Reviews of One-Skein Wonders
Book Review: worth the money for the variety of patterns
Summary: 4 Stars
I like these one skein books cause I can't resist buying that gorgeous skein of yarn that I don't have a plan for and it ends up sitting in my stash. The patterns are broken up by the weight of yarn used, so you can look at only the patterns for your yarn, which I find really handy. The patterns aren't rated by degree of difficulty, but there is everything from dirt simple scarves to complex lace, so there's something for everyone. Color photos of every pattern let you see what it'll look like finished. I've made several items from the book and not found any mistakes in them. My only (very minor) complaint is that the photos are not with the patterns, but rather all together in the front of the book. Worth the money at full price, and a don't-miss at a used price.
Summary of One-Skein Wonders
There are lonely, single skeins of yarn in every knitter's closet - casualties of projects discarded in mid-row, single balls of luscious alpaca or cashmere that was too expensive to buy more than one, the leftovers from long-completed projects. Wherever they came from, those single skeins are a minor source of guilt for knitters everywhere. They really should be used, but for what?Here are 101 original and charming solutions to the perpetual one-skein problem. Contributed by yarn shops across the country, there are hats, mittens, scarves, bags, socks, ponchos, baby sweaters, belts, headbands, a cell phone carrier, and even a tea cozy and a set of coasters for the home. A scrapbook of tastes and styles that celebrates the ingenuity of knitters nationwide, this is a collection with appeal for every type of stitcher.
With patterns arranged by yarn weight, knitters will easily find broad ranges of possibilities for their particular yarn orphans. Each pattern includes the names of the contributing yarn shop and the designer, and a black-and-white image of the completed project.
101 small, sweet patterns - enough to take care of the single skeins in everyone's collection and prove once and for all that there is no such thing as leftover yarn!
