Product Description
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-concluded projects. Wherever they came from, persons 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 concluded project.
101 tiny, 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!

Once again a new knitting book comes out and once again the publisher doesn’t let us see what’s inside. Who buys knitting books lacking at least flipping through the pages to see what the projects look like?
I buy about 10 knitting books per year, many of them on Amazon. Alot of things inform me about which books to buy — past books of the designer or editor that I liked, projects, etc. But the single most vital thing that drives my spending is being able to see a sample of pictures of the projects contained in the book. Why are so few knitting book publishers willing to show us what is inside their books on Amazon?
“One Skein Wonders” is another book that does NOT offer the potential buyer a view of what is inside? I don’t expect to see the patterns, but I do expect to see pictures of (at least some of) the projects.

This is a book of many hideous projects with an occasional gem that makes you reevaluate your original evaluation -until you get to the next stupid item.
The few things possibly worth building are regularly a cheat. The one skein shawl is from a skein of 1,200 yards, for example. You can find a lot of better shawl patterns utilizing 1,200 yards. The occasional nice hat or scarf patterns do not justify buying this book.
I considered giving it away as a gift but don’t want to insult my knitting friends.
