Product Description
Product Description
Knitters have spoken! Single-skein projects are all the rage because they're portable, fun, quick to finish, and the perfect answer to that stash of orphan yarns. Already, Judith Durant's "One-Skein" series has delighted knitters everywhere with fabulous single-skein patterns contributed by yarn shops and noted knitwear designers.Now, "Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders", the third book in this popular series, brings indulgence to the one-skein concept! The newest one-skein patterns are the most decadent yet, featuring the most sumptuous yarns on the market - from snuggle-worthy cashmere to the lustrous alpaca to the eco-friendly soy, corn, and bamboo yarns.Contributors include designers, yarn manufacturers, and well-known knitting and crocheting teachers. Like previous One-Skein books, "Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders" features two-colour illustrations throughout, as well as a full-colour photo gallery of projects.Patterns include baby items, personal accessories, toys, and garments - from an adorable baby sweater knit from merino and bamboo to beaded cashmere socks. Not only are these projects fun and fast, they offer knitters a great excuse to pick up several skeins (really now, no one can buy just one!) of to-die-for yarns.

Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders: I have been knitting for years and have made all sorts of things,
but unfortunately I could not get on with this book. Visually it is a lovely book, great pictures and ideas BUT the way the instructions are laid out is a nightmare. It is very difficult to follow the patterns, you have the pattern description in one place, you have the "setting up" in another place then you have the pattern set out to follow on a chart. If knitting is new to you this is not the book for you. There were several things in the book I started to make and gave up in frustration in the end. This is definately not for beginners or for people who have been knitting for years unless you are very calm!!

Though there are lovely patterns in this book, the presentation of the book is astonishingly poor. All the projects are pictured in a section at the beginning of the book. Each item has just one picture - with no additional close-ups or different views of the items. There are no pictures with the instructions at all - and the instructions are not in the same order as the pictures. This makes it really difficult when browsing the projects to see what projects would work with the length of skein you have got.
This book is also "perfect bound". This means that individual cut pages are glued into the spine. This type of binding is fine for a cheap paperback novel that you might read a couple of times then throw away - it is not suitable for a book that should be kept for many years. In fact, the binding is so bad that after looking at this book just a few times the photo pages at the start are already falling out!!!

Got this wonderful book of ideas on Saturday and am halfway through the Falling leaves scarf in Mohair, I wanted to experiment with different yarns and this book gives you the perfect excuse to do just that.
I wouldnt consider myself a very experienced knitter and haven't found this book offputting or daunting, the patterns are clear and anything that has been difficult I have simply looked up on Utube!

Wonderful ideas
The patterns in this book are great. Something for every level of knitter. Down side is that the book's binding doesn't hold together. It is falling apart.
