Kurzbeschreibung
There are lonely, single skeins of yarn in every knitter's closet - casualties of projects discarded in mid-row, single balls of luscious alpaca or cashmere that was too expensive to buy more than one, the leftovers from long-completed projects. Wherever they came from, those single skeins are a minor source of guilt for knitters everywhere. They really should be used, but for what? Here are 101 original and charming solutions to the perpetual one-skein problem. Contributed by yarn shops across the country, there are hats, mittens, scarves, bags, socks, ponchos, baby sweaters, belts, headbands, a cell phone carrier, and even a tea cosy and a set of coasters for the home. A scrapbook of tastes and styles that celebrates the ingenuity of knitters nationwide, this is a collection with appeal for every type of stitcher. With patterns arranged by yam weight, knitters will easily find broad ranges of possibilities for their particular yam orphans. Each pattern includes the names of the contributing yarn shop and the designer, and a black-and-white image of the completed project. A 24-page full-colour insert brings every pattern to colourful life. This work features 101 small, sweet patterns - enough to take care of the single skeins in everyone's collection and prove once and for all that there is no such thing as leftover yarn!

Format:Taschenbuch
Das Buch vereint 101 Strickprojekte, die sich aus einem Knäul Wolle fertigen lassen und von Shopbesitzern zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. In der Mitte des Buches sieht man alle Projekte in Farbe, der Rest des Buches ist monochrom gehalten.
Die Kapitel sind eingeteilt in die Dicke der Wolle, die benötigt wird: Bulky-Weight Yarns, Heavy Worsted Yarns, Worsted-Mohair Yarns, Worsted-Weight Yarns, Sport-Weight Yarns, Fingering-Weight Yarns und Novelety Yarns.
Zu den vorgestellten Ideen gehören Mützen, Handschuhe, Taschen, Tücher, Socken, usw., alle recht pfiffig und modern.
Am Ende des Buches gibt es eine amerik. Shopliste mit Kurzinformationen zum Laden, ein Glossar, ein paar bebilderte Stricktechniken sowie einen Index.
Bisher habe ich noch nichts aus diesem Buch gestrickt, aber ich muss sagen, dass mich einige der vorgestellten Dinge ansprechen. Es ist eine große Auswahl und die Unterteilung in die verschiedenen Wollstärken finde ich sehr praktisch.
Ich liebäugel schon mit dem ein oder anderen Projekt und habe viel Lust, sie nachzustricken - das schafft nicht jedes Buch ;)
Prädikat "empfehlenswert", bereichert die Strickbücherecke!

Excellent variety! of mini-bits
19. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
There are about a dozen of these books out right now, all about small bits -- bits of time, bits of yarn, bits of color....
Most of them have 1-2 dozen little things to make with a little yarn in a little while, or a lot of fat yarn in a weekend. Some are cute-- but some not. Some really original-- and some like bad Xerox copies of things we've all seen before.
This book, however, is different. Different in that there are many many many (101) abreviated projects to choose from, and most are original and quite different from everything else in the book! Beat that!
I have already made the lovely "filigree" lace collar on p187 and am very pleased with the ease following such simple and straightforward directions. There are a couple more collars and neck bits I can try next -- maybe after the hair ornaments, or the gauntlets, or one of the interesting flower decorations....
I also like the lay-out of the book with the center color photo index of projects (easy to re-find ideas that have flipped shut) AND the nifty table of contents that breaks down the projects by yarn size! This is a "knit up your scraps" book designed by real knitters!
So, bravo and well done! I counted up those projects that I would either want to knit for myself, or would knit for friend/family, and came up with 42 out of 101. I don't know about you, but that's a high hit rate for me.

Nice book but contains errors!
22. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book for myself recently because I've been wanting to make myself a new scarf. I was shopping for gifts at a local store and noticed it on the shelf and it appealed to me in several ways which I will describe here.
I was attracted to the book because of its title. Having created a stash of yarns over the years, I thought it might be a fun way to use up leftovers as well as work up some fast projects.
It turns out there are a lot of things I like about this book but there are also several things I don't like.
Things I like
There are a lot of items to make.
The projects include a sketch of the item and the pattern.
The projects are creative.
The stitches are creative.
There are color photos of each project.
Most of the projects are knitted. A few use crochet.
Things I don't like
Most of the recommended yarns are specialty yarns that are not available in the big box craft stores.
You need to know a bit about substituting to be able to use a different yarn and have the project turn out right.
Each yarn has different weight and yardage. The patterns call for one skein of a particular yarn but you may need more than that if you substitute.
Two major warnings:
1. There are errors in this book! The first pattern I tried has a typo and it took me 3 days to figure out what was wrong. Since the pattern was complex, at first I thought I was making some kind of mistake. This was stressful for sure. I did find an errata sheet on the publishers web site but it does not include the pattern that gave me trouble (Honey Tangerine Scarf): http://www.storey.com/files/correct/20010116020616.pdf. Many of these changes are already in my book but some errors are still there, plus the one I found in the first project I tried. So I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about the instructions.
2. This book is not for the beginner. The stitches that I've tried are not simple and I think a beginner would have a hard time. I don't think you have to be an expert, but don't buy it if you are just starting to learn to knit.
Getting back to the contents of the book, there are 101 projects. The projects are grouped by type of yarn. Color photos are in the middle of the book.
Each pattern is contributed by a yarn shop and these are listed at the back. When I was having trouble I emailed the shop that contributed my pattern and they answered and said there was a typo. They invited me to come by for help but they are across the country from me. They also gave me a phone number.
Types of projects in the book:
Scarfs
Hats
Bags
Accessories
Socks
Shawls
Doll accessories
Baby sweater
Baby booties
The projects are fun and should work up quickly and make great gifts as long as you don't run into an error that takes you three days to figure out.
There's a glossary in the book that explains some of the stitches.
In summary, I like the projects and hope to make many of the items. I do wish the publisher had been more careful before printing it.

Glad I have it
27. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is different from any other knitting book I have. First of all the patterns are arranged by yarn weight which is really nice. The next thing is that the patterns are in the book one right after the other with a sketch near the pattern and all of the color photos in the middle of the book. At first I thought that was strange, but I really like just going through all of the color prints at one time to pick out what I want to make. All of the stories about the yarn shops are together in the back of the book.
I've made 2 things (Felted Coasters and Cozy House Socks) so far and they've turned out really nicely. I'm going to start a scarf that looks like a ruffle around the neck next. I'm also interested in the knitted wine bottle gift bag. I would think this book would be a great addition to anyone's knitting library - especially because it will be fun to buy just one skein of a really nice yarn knowing you'll be able to find something to make with it.
