210 Mass MoCa Way, North Adams, MA 01247 9781580176880, $18.95 www.storey.com From a host of knitwear designers comes a title focusing on what can be made with one skein of yarn--and the options are surprisingly many. Each requires only a single ball and ranges from footwear and arm warmers to bags, scarves, cable mittens, and more. An easy organization by yarn weight makes it simple to produce by yarn type, while explanations of techniques and step-by-step directions will appeal to all levels of crocheters or knitters, especially those who have the basics of reading knitting code and who want to progress to the next level.
