Double Bill for a Single Skein
By Megan Goodacre
For Christmas, I treated myself to a luxurious, hand dyed, 100% silk, 100 gram skein from Sweatermaker Yarns. The question then, of course, what to do with this precious thing? It's easy to get so attached to a single skein that you never actually use it.
On the way to using this skein, I did my research, and made some notes on One Skein Patterns. And decided to see just much I could get out of 250 meters of yarn. I was able to get design a simple, double loop cowl, the Botanical Cowl.
And in the spirit of getting the most out of one skein knitting, I made a teeny tiny bag from the leftover yarn. I named it Margalo, after the bird in Stuart Little.
Both of these new patterns are free to download.
