2018 Kits Underwhelming
I didn't subscribe to the 2017 Big Beanie Bags but did catch some of the reveals on YouTube. Based on those and some of the feedback I've read in the project forums this year, it seems the bags aren't worth the price.
I do like that we build a project over 3 months so every 3 months, a new pattern will be started. The first project was a lot of fun and the extras in the monthly shipment seemed to be picked specifically for what we would be doing with the pattern that month.
It is now the second 3-month project of the year. The extras in the shipment are very random and some repeated what were sent in the first month a gauge ruler, though a different type than the previous. Also, the description of this club says each month will include 3 to 5 yarn samples. The current project has consistently only included 2 yarn samples. With the extras included, it doesn't feel worth the monthly cost.
I'm hoping the next project shipments are more consistent with the description and the extras aren't similar to those we've already received.

Fun
Grab bags are always fun. I loved the yarns that were included and can't wait to use them. I liked the accessories that came in the grab bag as well.
My only suggestion is maybe to have specific grab bags for Crocheters and for Knitters. I don't crochet but the pattern that was included in the grab bag was a crochet pattern. I would have preferred a knitting pattern. And as I say this, I do also accept, it's a Grab Bag...You get what you get! :
Either way, it was a lot of fun and your choices were very generous for the amount of the grab bag! :
