June Big Beanie Bag Cool
I would love to give this 5 stars. I subscribed to this in order to try new yarns without a large monetary investment, and to try patterns I normally would not try. The bag, the yarn, the tools all met my expectations. Bravo! I am confused about the heel moisturizer which was supposed to be in the bag. I got Handmaid, which I understand is hand lotion, but it has directions for laundering knit wear. The pattern also had a rather large mistake in it Rows were mislabeled. I did love using the pattern recommended Twisted German Cast on, but the Fisherman's Knot which was supposed to be used in order to complete the cowl without running out of yarn, was something I will never use again. In addition to not being very secure, it leaves tiny little tails on the inside. I did not care for how unfinished this left the inside of the cowl, so I wove all those ends in made more difficult since the tails were so short.
I'm looking forward to the July bag, though with an optimistic hope of improvement!

Great blocking tool!
I used this kit plus my blocking wires I purchased eons ago. These blocks made blocking a breeze. I could have used 2 - 4 more blocks but I made it work. I blocked a Knit Swirl Coat of many colors. I could not have sone so easily without these blocks. A bit pricey, but worth the investment.
