Offering 101 charming designs that use just a single skein of yarn, Judith Durant shows you how to turn these extra bits of fiber into stylish hats, mittens, scarves, and tea cozies. Covering a wide range of tastes and styles, this collection will inspire you to dig out your orphan yarn and get stitching., 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!, Here are 101 original and charming solutions to the perpetual one-skein problem.

    I thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Really Worthwhile Book

    This is a great book for people like me who end up with a bin full of odd skeins after completing larger projects. I especially like the way the book chapters are divided according to yarn weight, which makes it easier to find a project suitable to the yarn type you have on hand. There is a color picture of every project in the book. Definitely recommend adding this book to your knitting library.

    My favorite series ......

    Sometime I just need a fast project so I can change gears during a sweater or other lengthy project and these One-Skein Wonders do the trick !! Plus they make a great gift for the new knitter or someone who is building their library ... .I used a copy for my exchange gift at our circle's recent retreat! OH ...... Did I mention that my first ever published pattern is in this book ...... just sayin'! Merry Christmas!!!

    Great book to add to your collection.

    This is a great book for that one skein you have on hand. I have made a lot of the items in here. Good photos and easy to follow instructions. I like how it is divided up by yarn weight.

    Title is good for this book

    A lot of silly projects. Only so much can be done with one skein. Worth the price.
