Product Description
Product Description
Fortunately, sock yarn can be used for more than simply keeping toes toasty. In SOCK YARN ONE-SKEIN WONDERS: 101 Patterns That Go Way Beyond Socks! veteran knitter Judith Durant has chosen not simply inventive sock patterns but also more than 5 dozen inspired patterns for other items that can be created from a single skein of sock yarn. The latest in Storey's enormously popular One-Skein Wonders series, SOCK YARN ONE-SKEIN WONDERS offers one-of-a-kind patterns for baby clothes, mittens, scarves, hats, jewellery, cosies, bags. . . even a dog sweater and a lamp shade! Contributed by yarn shops and designers, the patterns are as fetching as they are fun to knit. Knitters of every skill level will find tantalizing challenges; some knit up in fewer than three hours, others make creative use of sock yarn leftovers, and several make heirloom-worthy gifts. Collectively, these patterns bring out the best of sock yarn. . . whether variegated or solid-coloured, self-patterning or hand-painted. SOCK YARN ONE-SKEIN WONDERS has an easy-to-browse layout, four-color photos throughout, step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations and charts, and stylish patterns. With this book in their knitting bags, needle crafters will take their stash of sock yarn well beyond stockinged feet to a delightful world of possibility.

This is a fabulous book - my usual rule is that a knitting book needs at least 4 patterns I would actually knit before I buy it - with his one I stopped counting! Lovely scarf, hat and glove patterns as well as shawls, baby clothes and even some doll's clothes. At least I now feel I could actually use all that sock yarn! Really good value, well set out and a pleasure to look at!

I've bought/been given/borrowed all the books in the "one Skein Wonders" series, and this is the best of the bunch!
The editor and publisher have obviously taken criticisms of previous books on board, and the book is now in full colour throughout, with pictures of the projects now actually with the instructions instead of a section at the front. The quality of the pictures has improved too. The majority of projects are knitted but there are a sprinkling of crochet projects too.
The book is arranged by project type, and there is a wide selection of designs to choose from - socks, obviously but also shawls, hats, gloves, bags, baby clothes, clothes for dolls (probably the only things I won't knit) and items for the home. Because items are all made using 100g or less of sock yarn, they are ideal stash busters. By being made from a weight of yarn easily available to UK knitters, the book is more useful than some US-centric knitting books, too.
A slight criticism is that the book doesn't give actual yarn usage for each project, so it's harder to calculate whether that odd skein in the stash will actually stretch to finishing a project.
A useful addition to my library. There's only so many pairs of socks a girl can have, but sock yarn is just so tempting...

Excellent little book
I recently bought this book and love it- I'm about to cast on my first project from it. Just be warned- most of the patterns are as charts with limited written instructions
