Darn Good Yarn Yarn of the month box

Image
Another new box! Darn good yarn of the month box See my unboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YArSoCL2P1Y What was in my box?: a set of knitting needles and a crochet hook (value on box 19.99). It says these are handmade from India. They are dyed purple so they have that Ombre effect! a booklet has a pattern for crochet and knitting. A skein of yarn Thoughts on box: Again I tried this box because I had a coupon. Im glad I tried it, that's how I learn what kind of items I like and what I don't. My favorite item in the box was the hook and needles You do get a gift in the box each month and these were worth well over the cost of the box. The patterns I don't see me making. The yarn I don't see me using. The yarn is silk and anything made with it you have to handwash. I prefer washable yarn. Would I recommend this box? No I would not. Its one of these you get what you pay for. The box only cost $10 dollars. That price is rarely se

Annie's Hook and Needle Club: Kit of the month club

Trying a new kit of the month club. I've been wanting to learn Crochet for some time now. So I am trying some yarn boxes/kits. I chose this one because I was able to get an offer on Facebook for my first kit for $1.99 + tax and shipping of course. You can see me opening the envelope/unboxing it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyoyIIHI3iY Things in the envelope A receipt A Stich Guide The kit What is this month's kit? This months kit is Learn a Stich Dish Cloths It contains: A book/leaflet with directions for 3 dishcloths. There are patterns for crochet and knitting. That is a nice feature to have because I do know how to knit. 3 skeins of yarn: one blue, one orange, one green. Thoughts on kit: I like it and cant wait to try and make these. Would I recommend these kits? If you have a coupon go for it, otherwise skip it. After this first kit I canceled my next kits since it was going up to 19.99 a month. I think that is expensive.

Witch Casket August 2019

Last blog post for Witch Casket as I have ended this subscription. View my unboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEQDti30NMU Box Contains: Little Book of plant magick custom bamboo eco pen Live life in full bloom Pouch Wooden Elements Ammulet in Pouch Elemental Candle Kit naturally magic enamel pin connect with nature parchment scroll Mugwort Green Chert stone and Info card Loose Leaf Tea Mint Green Tea Insence sticks Nadita wood spice Art Print Thoughts on box: This box was better than July's, I will say that. I still was not in love with this one. Items I will actually use/keep from this box: The pen The pouch (my favorite item) The tea The art print These items are very useful or I just liked them a lot. Issues with this box: It's expensive. Over $40 for people in the U.S. They need better directions or descriptions for items as I thought: the candle kit was to  make candles it was not. I don't know what mugwort is (its jus

Quilty Box Jinny Beyer Box 1

Today I am reviewing another quilt box. Here is the link to my unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsHra47Aprs Whats in the box? Aurifill Thread in Maroon Jinny Breyer Palette collection info packet Jinny Breyer Quarterly Box Book Stilletto and Pressing tool Jinny Breyer Palette Pixie Strips Jelly Roll Harlequin Charm Quilt Pattern Woven Rib Quilt Pattern Thoughts on the box: I had heard about Quilty Box and wanted to try it. I got an email about a sale they were having so I brought this box at a big discount. If this box would not have been on sale, I most likely would have not bought it in the first place. Overall I was not impressed with the items in this box. Most of the patterns and information was just printed from the computer or copied out of something and put into my box. I am not ok with paying for items like that. If I wanted to I could find the items and print/copy them myself. The items should have been in a nicely printed book or brochure/leaf

Mary Maxim 2019 Plastic Canvas Kit of the Month Club August 2019

So trying a kit club this month! Ive started working on some more plastic canvas crafts but I am having issues finding things in the stores. For this reason, I am trying this club. You can see me opening the envelope here: https://youtu.be/cMn2wNWYCY4 This months kit is Jack O'Latern Baskets It includes:  Plastic canvas needle stem felt Yarn in Black, Orange, and Rust Pattern booklet Thoughts: I have not opened the kit yet to start it. However me first impression is what a nice kit! I really like it and can not wait to start making! The project is going to be so cute! I paid 9.99 for this kit, plus shipping (which I forget the price. I also used a coupon code. I feel like I got a good deal overall. After your first month it goes up to 12.99. This is a bit higher so I will see if I stay with it or not. 12.99 is a bit high but I know I will try it for at least one more month. Final verdict: If you like plastic canvas or would lik

My second Witch Casket review is here! Watch the unboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJAR_f8bx34 Items in box: Divination Dice and Cards Altar Cloth Candle Protection Charm Bag Kit Casket Crew Enamel Pin Pentacle and other Protection Aids Scroll Die Cut Sticker Rough Cut Selenite Wand Lucky Dragon Hyson Loose Leaf Tea Incense Sticks 2 Art Prints The day after this box came I also received a necklace in the mail that they had forgotten to include in the box. Thoughts: This box was a real let down all gray and dull compared to last months box which was interesting and purple. Seems each box has a color theme. I will say that the box smelled amazing to me this month. I will be keeping the candle, scroll, and tea. Everything else not sure what to do with. I will figure out something. Not crazy about the necklace either. Final verdict: This month I can not recommend. You still do get a lot of stuff but if you are like me and just like learning about w
