One Skein: 30 Quick Projects to Knit and Crochet - Tapa blanda

Mar 06 A stellar case of one-upmanship, this entry is a must for every knitter who's ever stared at her stash, wondering what to do with her singles. Radford calls on her Imagiknits-ion and transforms just one ball of yarn into cabled footies, a crocheted cravat, a curvy felted bowl and 27 more mini masterpieces. Try beading on a small scale to make fingerless garter mitts, or test your ability to combine fibers by rounding up your odds for a beautiful end in the form of a multicolour labyrinth rug. Yardage and fiber content is given, so it's easy to sub in whatever you've got on hand if your horde lacks the listed yarns. * Yarn Market News *

Everyone has the time to spend on projects requiring only one skein . . . so don't miss out on the fun!

One Skein features more than 30 knitting and crochet projects that range in size, time commitment, and experience level, providing both beginning and experienced knitters a variety of projects from which to choose.

These felted bowls are ideal for organizing buttons, beads, yarn, keys, or other small objects that need a special place.

The stitch patterns and instructions are easy to follow and quick to use. Readers will enjoy creating a felted purse, a drawstring bag, crocheted accessory bags, cozy scarves, a pretty tank top, arm and leg warmers, cable footies, lace wristlets, fingerless gloves, pillows, bibs, felted bowls, a baby sweater, a soft and absorbent crocheted bath mat and accessories - and so much more, each from a single skein of yarn!

In One Skein, author Leigh Radford smartly includes several projects specially designed to make use of whatever you've got left over from other projects - one of the nicest designs we've ever seen is for a quick-to-make, colorful, and long-lasting rug.
