101 Designer One-Skein Wonders: A world of possibilities inspired by just one skein

Trying new yarns -- a great book!
I have both One Skein Wonders books, love both of them for small, elegant projects (this one is a bit more sophisticated) that make wonderful gifts and give us maniac crafters something to do when more challenging knitting or crochet projects seem a little too much for the moment. It's also a terrific way to test a new yarn for its drape and feel -- oh yes -- and a great way to splurge on a ...

Down Home Knittin'
There's a little something for everyone to knit in Mason-Dixon Knitting. I love the concept of two friends, from different regions of the country, sharing their knitting experiences. The patterns vary from simple to challenging and cover a multitude of household to wearable items. I like the authors' encouragement for knitters to break free of patterns and create our own works of knitted ...

INCREDIBLE! Awesome concept and BOOK!
I LOVE IT! This book first of all lays FLAT because it is spiral bound. I have knit socks with double point needles and tried 2 circular needle sock knitting but this is hands down the best way! I suggest you make sure to buy at least a 40" circular needle and the best one would be the bamboo ones because the tubing is VERY soft & bendable. This book is great, easy to follow, and has some ...

A Good Yarn
I liked how the characters came together and the story line was weaved through each spereate story line. You could read this book without reading the others (I would not recommend that) and still know who the original people were and what happened.

Stories and essays that linger in the heart
Stephanie's newest book leaves me unable to find words to match those inside the book. I doubt I can do this book justice. This fine book is about knitting, yes, but really not so much about knitting as about what happens when knitting is part of life. The stories and essays glide and ripple and twist, carrying the reader pellmell into intimate contact with men, women, children, animals, ...

Teach Yourself Visually Knitting (Teach Yourself Visually)

Great Resource!!
I just about threw my knitting needles out the window until I discovered this book. It's filled with very clear and concise instructions. The best part of this book is the clear, close-up pictures. It's not one of those knitting instruction books with the half sketched illustrations of hands with knitting needles. It actually shows you every step and also includes common problems and the ...

Great, great, great ideas!
I ordered this book and was thrilled when it arrived. So many wonderful ideas. It's a must for any knitter with even a small stash! It will be used over and over. Small projects are perfect for in-between the large ones and this book offers lots! Many gift ideas collected into one book.

The Knitter's Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying Yarn

Clara Parkes

Potter Craft, 2007

BUY IT. No other book like it!
This book is the equivalent to a college course on fibers and their characteristics. NOW I know why some of my projects were not what I had hoped they would be; I substituted yarns that were the same gauge, but that wasn't enough. The patterns in this book are examples of each type of yarn (not just the fiber, but the number of plies, etc.) and are very user-friendly. I've already completed a ...

Super-cute!
These patterns are very cute, and very easy to make. Even better, they only require small amounts of inexpensive yarn and stuffing. Here's a gift idea: give someone -- a new crocheter, a crafty teen or kid, or whoever -- a copy of this book, a few balls of Wool-Ease yarn, a couple of crochet hooks and a tapestry needle. Put it all in a cute gift bag, and voila -- they're all set to make adorable ...

Interweave Press, 2007

The "best" from Interweave Knits
Interweave Knits is the knitting magazine I eagerly await each season for, without fail, I find a "must-knit" in its pages. Over the years, many well-known designers have had patterns featured in this popular magazine, although many young designers have found a place here as well. Interweave Knits is known for its innovative and appealing designs, offering challenging and wearable garments for ...

A Fine Book
When I first saw this book, I thought "Ho hum, another knitting book". Closer examination proved how wrong that assessment was. Yes, it is a knitting book. But it is also a spinning book. Each of the projects included is shown in both commercially spun yarn and in handspun yarn. Since knitting books usually do not include handspun projects, this concept is unique. The patterns cover ...

One Skein, 30 projects to knit or crochet
One Skein: 30 Quick Projects to Knit or Crochet This book has a wonderful look with many full color pictures. As I am a crochet person, rather than a knit person, I was a bit disappointed with the book as out of the 30 projects only 8 or 9 are crochet projects, the rest are all knitting. It should, in the description show that it is predominately a knitters book. That way crochetters will ...

New to spinning? Cut-to-the-chase crash course in how to do it!
I'm a new spinner and felt overwhelmed with the technical aspects of it when I decided to learn. What I needed was a "just the facts" kind of guide that would let me get started and not overwhelm me with nerdy technical stuff that passionate and experienced practitioners love to talk about. Start Spinning is definitely it! Based on the reviews here, I bought a copy and agree completely with ...

Perfect treadmill reading
I'm on a knitting kick but have to do other things occasionally, such as getting on the treadmill. This little book was my answer to not being able to knit on the treadmill. I hadn't expected to actually enjoy it, but I did because from the "do over" to the yarn stash, it's all me. I thought it was entertaining and a bit profound at times. I think it would also appeal to those hooked on ...

Love this book!
I got this book and have not put it down since. The patterns are easy to follow, easy to knit and FAST. They are also very simple to alter to your style. Not so big on 3/4 sleeves? Want a different length? No problem, the author tells you at the front of the book how to alter these things. I love the top down construction, and can make one of these sweaters in a few days. I have also used ...

Wonderfully done !
As a hand dyer of yarn, many people ask me what they could make with one or two skeins of yarn. This book has lots of ideas for very nice small projects. Many item you will make for yourself. The only thing that could make these items better is using hand dyed yarn. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the photos are very well done. Who would not want to receive a cashmere ...
