Customer Reviews

Kinda Difficult
Well I got this a couple of years ago for Christmas and it was really difficult to knit, so, my neighbor (A grandmother) came over to help and she couldn't get it, but she taught me the other activity in the kit, crocheting! It was a LOT easier, but with the plastic tool and the yarn together, it kept slipping out of thee little hook. After a while, you get the hang of it though, and I could do it with my eyes closed. I would buy it again, but the knitting part I would give a bad rating.

A Great Birthday Present
We got this as an 11th birthday present for one of my daughter's friends. It was the hit of the birthday party -- all the girls went home with new yarn belts, and my daughter, who can already knit a little, asked if she could have one, too. The colors of yarn are bright and the texture is easy to work with. For our purposes, this was a great birthday present.

plenty for the money
My daughter was pleased as punch. She got 900 feet (that's a lot for child sized mittens and scarves!) of yarn and a pretty basket to keep the things neat. The needles were just fine. A few other kits at our local shop were going for twice this and didn't have as much yarn and the "baskets" were cheap plastic tubs. If something is damaged I know we usually exchange the item to the store or call the manufacturer and they're more than happy to replace items. Also my daughter is seven years old and just entered 1st grade and she had no problems understanding the instructions with a little help from me.
