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. ❤
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!🧶😊
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!
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!
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!
Thank you for doing this video! I too pick up 1 skein and then don’t know what to knit with it. I am goin to try many of your suggestions! Btw, Jana has a great tutorial on how to fix a brioche mistake ~ a very simple way.
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 RUclips 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.
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! ☺️
What a great episode, I like all your suggestions and will come back to see the favorite patterns of all your viewers. A one skein pattern I particularly like knitting was Turn It To The Max by Joanne Bint. It was made of mohair from an independant dyer. The fun of this pattern was the improvisation, it said to do multiple yo whenever the yellow color was changing to pink. It was so much fun, I knitted it in grey November, it felt like knitting sunshine. I always love wearing that shawlette.
Yay that was fabulous. Thank you. 💐I love the lace weight I’m trying to spin that fine so one day I can knit it. My drama is I always think I haven’t got enough. Ahhhhh. Great info. 💖🦋💖
Perfect!!! I need a couple options. I almost exclusively use fingering, make a lot of sockheads... I think I'm the only person that wasn't in love with the musselbourgh.... No desire whatsoever to make socks.....🤣😂🤣 Love the shawls!! I always make schlankets for some reason.
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!
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!
Another great episode & thank you so much for your recommendations for that one skein of yarn I just had to buy with no pattern in mind 🤣. It happens a lot! I’ll be checking those patterns out.
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!
Great topic, I love hand dyed yarns but because they are a bit of a splurge for me I tend to make the mistake of buying single skeins and then don’t know what to do with them. I love the mitt pattern. Will definitely be making those this fall.
Great to have this to refer too. Thank you. Can you please mention needle size in mm. I’m Scottish living in Australia. Both countries use mm. I am not familiar with US numbers used.
Irina with my winnings I purchased 2 sizes of gold stitch markers, Twist Fingering Weight Yarn colorway:Persnickerty Too and a cat in mug progressive keeper. I have never knitted with this kind of yarn. So I was going to ask what you would recommend for a pattern to knit using this yarn? I was watching and listening to David's chat he has on Fridays and he said you were doing this One Skein Wonder so I came on and I saw that one of the patterns you recommended was a shawl. Thanks again!!
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! xx
Agree! We love to hear your experiences with different yarns, a bit more specific.
Very helpful to know which ones I might want to knit depending on difficulty. All thee projects are delightful!
Glad you found it helpful
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’m thinking of turning this episode into a regular feature. New suggestions every few months
@@Fiberchats that would be popular I reckon.
Thank you for all the one skein recommendations for ALL yarn weights!

me too, counting minutes :)
Thank you Irina, this is very inspirational. I may give that Romi shawl a cast on inbetween everything else. Thanks again.
You’ll love knitting it
Great selection of patterns thank you for sharing
You’re welcome 😊
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!
Thank you! I might try that :)
Thanks for these great ideas. Your channel is where I first learned about the craft of curating yarn. 😁
love that!
Wow ! Very inspiring 👍
Will be referencing back to your recommendations in the future. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!

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!
Most of my yarn collection consists of single skeins :)
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!
Have fun!
Irina, thank you for this episode, some of the patterns that you mentioned I didn't know!
Glad it was helpful!
What a great video. So many beautiful projects 😍 I don't knit, I crochet, but still find this video very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite is the Musselburgh Hat by Isolde Teague. I’ve only made 3 so far. It’s a perfect Zoom meeting project,
Yes, very clever construction
such a super and helpful video, thank you.

I love changing the projects, going from lace to worsted. There is a different sort of satisfaction in each one

I loved the Artesian Shawl by Roma Hill❤
Me too! I can totally see myself knitting it again
@@Fiberchats also enjoying your content, keep up the fun!🧶👍🏻

those mitts are adorable and easy to make

Hello from Mounds Illinois!
I have made many sockhead hats.
Tea Cosies too! They don't complain about wearing that weird colour either.
so true!
Love this!! ❤️ 🧶
Great to have this to refer too. Thank you. Can you please mention needle size in mm. I’m Scottish living in Australia. Both countries use mm. I am not familiar with US numbers used.
There are many single skeins on my shelves. I'm a crocheter just learning to knit.
