    Great way to learn to knit!

    Great way to learn to knit, it was easy to follow instructions and videos. I made a few mistakes and had to redo it a few times so took longer than expected, but once I got it it came together and it’s super cute!

    I Prefer the Archie Beanie

    This was my first project where I had to to sew something together. I will definitely need to wear my invisible seam at the back. The Archie beanie , which I did previously, you knit in the round so there is no sewing at the end. I had a better outcome with the Archie beanie but hopefully I’ll get better at sewing projects together as I progress

    I was super excited to receive this product. I bought it during their birthday sale. This is one of the worst yarns I had ever worked with. Even a cheap yarn would have been better. This yarn rips apart after I gently pulled it. It sheds so much. I bought 2 other kits with the same yarn. I have major regrets because even though it was on sale, it was expensive. They said the cost was due to the high quality yarn…

    Got me back into knitting

    I haven’t knitted in a long time and I was looking for a kit to help get my skills back on track. This was a nice and easy project which was such a joy to knit.

    Beautiful wool too!

Yes, you’ll see that the needles or hook needed for that kit comes pre-selected as part of the kit inclusions.
