Trying another new box! Yarn Crush : Here is the link to my unboxing: https://youtu.be/CSzEiJl5eo0 Items in the box  Hanks of Lichen and Lace in Rustic Heater (3 Hanks)  Yarniverse Magazine September 2019  Yarn Crush Roller Ball and Highlighter Combo Pen  Thoughts:  As someone who is starting to do more yarn crafts I was very excited to try this subscription box but was disappointed in it.  I had chosen surprise me for the box I was sent the natural set, however I do not like the colors.  The fact that the Hanks are also 100% wool is not helpful either.  In the magazine you get patterns for a hat, mitts, 2 pillows, 3 socks.  That's a nice amount of patterns but unfortunately I don't love any of them.  Enough yarn is include to make only certain products depending on weather you want to knit or crochet.

Another new kit! This time I thought I would try Annie's Caring Crochet Club. This club sends you a kit every month and you can make the items and send them to a charity if you would like. I only am trying this kit club once because I received a coupon so I paid about 6 something for this kit. Here is my unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlk7bt9Uq2k  Its a very short video. Items received:  Directions to make two Chemo Caps  Two Skeins of yarn  Crochet Stitch Guide  3 Crochet Hooks  Needle  Thoughts I love the color of the yarn that was sent in the kit I could see myself making these Its very nice that they sent me extras. The extras were included as part of the promo that was emailed to me. There is no guarantee that you will receive the extras I got if you want to try this kit club. I canceled after this one because I wasn't going to pay 19.99 a month for the kits after this. Final verdict If you are ok with the 19.99 price tag I s
