So much fun!

(5 out of 5)

Full disclosure: I fell behind early. But what I have gotten to is adorable. All of the goodies were great, not just good. The daily notes and treats and extras were so well thought out. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but the truffles were truly special! It all comes together on Day 22 and puts a perfect bow on Amy Gunderson's wonderful patterns.

I love the kit that comes monthly. Beautiful yarn and easy directions. And a little gift to go with it all.

Love it!

(5 out of 5)

I’ve done other Craftvents in the past, but this year I loved the crochet pattern so much that I taught myself to crochet just so I could do this project. I love the colors and the design. My only criticism is that it’s hard for me to keep up with the daily amount of crocheting/knitting, so I liked that the first year had more notions and gave me more time to catch up. Despite falling behind almost instantly, I loved this project so much that I finished it as soon as I could. I can’t wait for next year!

3.5 stars, just not as great as previous years

(3 out of 5)

Jimmy Bean's does a great job with Craftvent, so I would definitely encourage you to give it a try in the future. This year was not as good in my opinion as last time that I did it, but I applaud JBW for putting this together in a pandemic. Some of it is just my personal preference I like sampling a variety of yarns in the kit. But some are more universal issues. The pattern had way too many errors and still does even after a final super-duper proofread, and some of the surprises for you were not up to snuff some were amazing!. It's fine to give hot cocoa, but please not a cruddy store brand. Give a pack a gourmet cocoa to support another small businessnot a subpar product from a corporation that has broken its pledge against not using child labor!!

Super disappointing

(1 out of 5)

I asked for this as a birthday present, so there are two people disappointed! First, the pattern is terrible, insufficiently tested with a list of errata a page long. One section should have at least suggested a larger needle size than the one provided with the kit. And some days have 3 times as much knitting as others, not ideal for those of us who want to knit as advent goes along have a difficult time. The colors are also disappointing. “Northern lights” suggests much more vibrant colors than are in the kit. I was okay with the colors until I opened yesterday and realized that there were two greys touching. Poor planning on the yarn provider’s part. It breaks my heart because it was a gift, but I will be frogging, rearranging the colors, and trying to salvage the yarn with a different project. Definitely not worth the 150 bucks my beloved spent on it.

Second Craftvent for me, and it won’t be the last. I love the small daily knitting goals, and the finished product.

Advent Wrap

(3 out of 5)

I have participated in the JimmyBean advent for about four years now, and have loved each carefully curated box and pattern. I could not wait for the 2020 one to arrive! It came last Friday, and it looks as beautifully presented as all the others. The little bags are adorable, and I took a quick peak at some of the yarn and wow! The only complaint I have this year and the reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that I really struggle with charts - dyslexia - so the slants in chart knitting all look alike to me. In the past, there was always a written pattern so you could do that or the charts, but this year, it is completely chart dependent. I am going to spend some time trying to color code it, but I think it would have helped to say that the pattern didn't have a written version. And my apologies if that is listed somewhere - I didn't see it, but perhaps I missed it.
