Great Bags
I really love these bags. I did receive one in a kit a few years ago and it all of sudden started to break apart. I really only stored notions, hooks, etc. so not sure why that happened. Hopefully these will hold up better. Otherwise they are great to keep things close while working on a project and I love the color!

Crochet Fun!
I'm a first timer to the Craftvent CAL. I love the concept, yarns, colors, pattern. But there were a few things that could use tweaking - the yarns in my kit were not what others were showing in pictures. The small pieces of paper indicating the yarn and day were not in all of the yarn balls and boxes. I had to look ahead which spoiled the surprise of the CAL. Even though I used a smaller hook, I ran out of yarn. Also, the written pattern could have explained that you will be using the same yarns in later days which may help if your yarn is running short. I just felt for the the cost of the kit, the yarns could be put together better. I loved the extra little surprise gifts, such as the folding scissors, blocking pins, leather label, Lama Emory board and of course, the beautiful box. The quality of yarn was great - I enjoyed working with the different yarns. Also, when I ordered on the website, the choice of the kits was very confusing. There was no button to click on for the choice of knit or crochet. I did contact JBW and they were very helpful and made sure I received the correct kit. They were very friendly and helpful in resolving my issue. Despite the little hiccups, I enjoyed the project and I'm looking forward to showing off my beautiful crocheted shawl!!

Love my kit!!
I love the kit especially that Michael Sellick is featured. I love the yarn but not too crazy about the patter since. But I'm going to wait until I receive all the yarn to create a project. But I have ordered from Jimmy Beans and I love their yarns!!!
