“Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes, I’m certain that it happens all the time…” I don’t think the Beatles were talking about yarn, but I wasn’t there….
That’s what the core of this book is about. “This book has been created for all those knitters and crocheters who find themselves with just one ball of very special yarn but only a vague idea of what to do with it.” You saw it, you loved it at first glance, you needed it. Very similar to Crochet One-Skein Wonders, One-Skein Wonders 101 Yarn Shop Favorites is a curated collection of patterns by different designers. The sections are divided into yarn weights, from fine crochet thread to bulky yarn. Some of the patterns themselves seem dated now, like the ladder yarn shawl, or the cell phone cozy, but the concept is as relevant as ever.
I’m finding myself especially drawn to a delightful aran-weight cabled hat. I love hats, I love cabled knits, I adore cabled knit hats. There’s something for everyone in this book, if you’re willing to see past the patterns that reflect dated trends.
