Mar 06
A stellar case of one-upmanship, this entry is a must for every knitter who's ever stared at her stash, wondering what to do with her singles. Radford calls on her Imagiknits-ion and transforms just one ball of yarn into cabled footies, a crocheted cravat, a curvy felted bowl and 27 more mini masterpieces. Try beading on a small scale to make fingerless garter mitts, or test your ability to combine fibers by rounding up your odds for a beautiful end in the form of a multicolour labyrinth rug. Yardage and fiber content is given, so it's easy to sub in whatever you've got on hand if your horde lacks the listed yarns.
