review 1: Less interesting than the original One Skein book. A few original patterns but overall a lot of déjà vu pieces. I'll definitely do the hot-water bottle cover (I know one or two friends who have been dying to have one). The fingerless gloves are blah, the baby patterns are okay but nothing to write home about. The pictures are beautiful, the instructions clear, the yarn choices are fine. It's a beautiful book but it didn't much to offer me as a knitter unlike the original One Skein.
review 2: One More Skein is divided into four sections, containing patterns for adult hats, gloves and scarves, some unusual garments for babies, a collection of bags, and household items. Each project requires a couple of skeins of yarn, with the exception of the blanket pattern, ... morewhich would be great for using up leftover yarns in different colors. My personal favorite is the linen placemat pattern. The appendix includes instructions for specific knitting techniques and a list of suppliers.While author Leigh Radford has introduced some original design elements, as a lifelong knitter, I find this collection a bit too basic. On the other hand, it would probably be of great interest to beginners or those looking for some quick, easy, and attractive gifts.Beautifully photographed by John Mulligan. less
