101 Designer One-Skein Wonders is a delightful collection of knitting patterns that each use just a single skein of yarn -- perfect for all those leftover skeins you have tucked away! The patterns were contributed by knitwear designers across the United States and are perfect for knitters of all skill levels. These designer projects range from the adorable to the elegant. There are plenty of patterns for those can't-have-enough items -- hats, scarves, bags, and shawls -- but you'll also find the unexpected, like a knitted notebook cover, a bath rug, a mitered square belt with beads, and a ring-bearer pillow. There's something for everyone!
In the late 1970s, Emerson College in Boston granted me a highly useful degree in theater, with a specialty in costume design. After spending several years hanging around the costume shops in New York trying to make ends meet, I was fortunate enough to land a publishing job; I've been working as an editor and writer ever since.
My mom taught me to knit when I was a young girl. The beadwork thing got serious while I was working as the book editor for Interweave Press. Many other crafty things have presented themselves along the way, and as a result I'm never bored.
Originally from Massachusetts, I spent fifteen years in New York City, then six and one-half in Colorado; the past six years have been spent back in Massachusetts. Retiring in France is a current dream.
