Review on Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders® Patterns Ebook by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Use up your sock yarn!

I have all the One-Skin Wonders books but this is the only one that only uses sock yarn (although you can use any yarn if you have the right thickness). As with the other books, there are color photographs of each project. The instructions are clear and most models also have a chart which I like. I created several templates in the book and found that they had quite a few errors. Go to the Storey Publishing: Corrections, Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders page to find all the errata in the book (I would suggest going to the error page and printing them out before starting any projects in this book so you don't worry yourself rip hairs; lol). This is a great way to use up your yarn stash! Most knitting or crochet books only have a handful of patterns, but this one (and all One-Skin Wonder books) has 101 of them to choose from. It's a huge 287 page book with an appendix that explains all the different stitches and gives abbreviations for them, as well as a symbol key for using diagrams and an index so you can find any design and stitch. The first project I made from this book was Celeste's shawl (a cropped photo of a pink shawl) for my childhood best friend after she lost her sister. ;-( Then I knitted a 'Wisteria Arbor' shawl (shown in colored yarn) and a 'Swan' shawl (shown in white yarn). It's a huge 287 page book, which has an appendix that explains all the different stitches and there are abbreviations for them, as well as an icon button for using charts and an index so you can find any project or stitch.
