Thank you for all the one skein recommendations for ALL yarn weights!

I have a lot (and lots and lots and lots… 🤣) of fingering weight single skeins with a few bulky, worsted, DK & sport skeins too.

Looking forward to seeing your Stephen Weet MKAL 2022 videos with Martyn. I can hardly wait until October!🧶😊

Oh this was brilliant!! I'm so glad to see you going solo! You should do these videos more often, thanks for including my designs as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[lisadevos]

Thank you for your recommendations, Irina. I’m often looking for one-skein projects because I, too, buy pretty yarns with no project in mind. I enjoyed seeing you go solo and would love to see you talk about your knitting projects!

My favorite is the Musselburgh Hat by Isolde Teague. I’ve only made 3 so far. It’s a perfect Zoom meeting project,

[debbylovesyarn]

Thank you Irina, this is very inspirational. I may give that Romi shawl a cast on inbetween everything else. Thanks again.

Very helpful to know which ones I might want to knit depending on difficulty. All thee projects are delightful!

[annee]

This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing so many one skein wonders with us. I love one skein projects especially for those gorgeous hand dyed yarns. ❤

I enjoy making hats for charity, and the Wister and the Manhattan are a couple of my favorites. These two patterns yield stylish hats for those folks who can’t afford to purchase their own. Again, Wister is a free pattern in this year’s Year of Hats in chunky/bulky weight and I knit Manhattan out of worsted weight. Charlie’s Hat is an adorable kids’ hat out of fingering. It has three tiny poms on the three points at the top-so cute!

Really enjoy all your podcasts but this fit the bill in a very practical sense. Thank you! By the way, your lace shawls are unbelievably gorgeous!

[deborahcoyle]

Thanks for these great ideas. Your channel is where I first learned about the craft of curating yarn. 😁

[apassionforlace]

Perfect timing. With the end of summer near, the needles come back out to prepare for Fall and Winter! I don't have a very diverse stash, but I canntry to make more happen with the single skeins! Thank you for the elaborate talk on Shetland and my designs. So kind! Your a great knitter, you'll sail through it and come out as the Princess!

[irinaginzburg]

love that Drop Stitch scarf in the beginning, and the rose colored Artesian Shawl, too... very attractive models for both Airy Cowls as well. PS: grey shawl with cables is beyond fabulous!

[zoedoodle]

Thank you for this! I have a gorgeous gradient lace weight cake and have been looking for something special to knit with it. You gave me several ideas. As far as patterns to recommend, someone on Youtube recommended Vary the Gate by Casapinka, which is a pattern specifically for using those stunning skeins of fingering yarn that tend to color pool or stripe in ugly ways. It never fails to break them up and recombine them in constantly changing patterns.

Loved your recommendations! I’ve done fingering weight shawls. Just as socks were a hurdle for you, a lace weight shawl would be a challenge for me. I am mostly a monogamous knitter and a lace weight shawl would seem to go on forever for me. Your work is beautiful!

[wavingcat]

It’s so interesting considering this! My more recent solution to single skeins problems has been to only buy multiple skeins, enough for a sweater or a top, and my stash definitely needed that. But I like to use a ball of DK or worsted to make mittens; I have made Woodstack Mittens by Jane Richmond.

I love that little shawl you mentioned for fingering weight yarn and will find it on Ravelry! I also loved the Kate Davies hat.

Mostly I find it so inspiring that you’re working with very fine weights of yarn! Your laceweight and cobweb shawls are beautiful and ethereal indeed! Doing the Westknits MKAL is going to seem gigantic and quick in comparison! ☺️

Coming back to this episode today - I have 100g of Illimani Santi, and need to knit it now! Thanks for all the information and pattern ideas!

[gabyf]

What a great video. So many beautiful projects 😍 I don't knit, I crochet, but still find this video very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[clarebartkowski]

Irina, this was wonderful and such an inspiring video for those of us who have that one very special 100grams of yarn. I loved it. ❤️🥰😘🌹

[wendycastelli]

Thank you so much for the great one-skein project ideas! I have so many single skeins that I purchased just because I loved the yarn when I saw it. Now I have some new ideas for using them!

[louannerudin]

Will be referencing back to your recommendations in the future. Thank you.
