What can you do with just one skein of yarn? That is the dilemma faced by countless knitters: what to do with those oddball skeins of yarn in your stash? You may have a leftover ball from a larger project or maybe you spotted an irresistible, pricey cashmere treasure that you simply couldn’t pass up, and bought just one.

Last year, One-Skein Wonders came to the rescue of every knitter in need of inspiration for their beloved but lonely skeins. Yarn shops from all over North America shared 101 of their favorite unique and inventive patterns-all of which call only for a single skein of yarn. Now knitters have twice as many patterns to choose from! [tag]101 Designer One-Skein Wonders[/tag] taps into the wide circle of knitwear designers across the country to compile a totally fresh collection of enchanting project.

256 pages, 8 x 8 1/2, two-color photographs and illustrations throughout, full-color photo gallery of projects. Hot off the heels of the uber-successful One-Skein Wonders, 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders arms knitters with 101 more unique and captivating projects–all of which call for only a single skein of yarn!

The result is this one-of-a-kind collection of single-skein patterns, all of which are arranged by yarn weight so knitters can easily find broad ranges of possibilities for those orphan skeins.

A scrapbook of tastes and styles that celebrates the ingenuity of knitters nationwide, this collection of 101 projects comes to the rescue of every knitter wondering what to do with their lonely skeins, and proves once and for all that there’s no such thing as leftover yarn.
