One-Skein Wonders
Edited by Judith Durant
|
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.
