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. So if you would like to make something else from the book you have to find other...

Annie's Caring Crochet Club

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 wi...

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.

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...
