Book Reviews of 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders: A world of possibilities inspired by just one skein
Book Review: I love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've already made four pairs of the Elegant and Easy Cable Mittens. They are quite easy (these were the first gloves/mittens I ever attempted to make and I had no problems). Two were for me, two have been for gifts. I also made the hat and mitten Christmas tree ornaments and the Cross Stitch Scarf.
The instructions are good with one noted exception (and there may be an errata on-line by now). The pattern for the Elegant and Easy Cable Mittens omits the instruction to place a second marker when you start working the thumb gusset. I figured it out quickly on the first shot (before I even got past the point where the instruction should have been) so it's not a big deal, it's just something to be aware of (as it refers to the second marker later in the pattern.)
There are about 98 other patterns in this book that I want to do. It's probably my current favorite knitting book.
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.
