One Skein Wonders, edited by Judith Durant, is a book full of little knitting projects for leftover yarn or single skeins purchased spur of the moment for no particular project. I've knit fingerless mitts, toques, scarves, a baby sweater, and even bookmarks using patterns from this book. Oh, there are a few patterns in this book I would NEVER want to knit, such as a catch-all bowl, a hair barrette, beaded napkin rings, a bulky collar, and flowers. But with over 101 possibilities for all types of yarn, this is really a great book to have on my shelf.
I should take a look at that book...
ReplyDeleteKnitting is something I left behind years ago along with cross stitch but wish i could do it. I have many quilter, seamstress, knitter friends and I envy them. It is such a peaceful thing to be able to do. God bless, Maria at Delight Directed Living
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a great idea. It's amazing what diverse items can be made from a single skein.

My aunt keeps telling me to buy this book. As a relatively new knitter, she thinks its a great series of patterns to help me learn new stitches. I think she may be right!
