WAK Crochet Kit Review and Giveaway

Hello there my friends! I have a fun company to introduce to you, along with a product review and a giveaway!

We Are Knitters is an international online knitting and fashion brand based out of Madrid, Spain with a strong online and offline presence throughout Europe. We Are Knitters’ product offerings includes a wide range of DIY knitting and crochet kits, which contain everything you need to knit or crochet your own unique garment or other item, including the yarn balls, wooden needles, pattern, sewing needle, and a We Are Knitters tag to sew into the finished product.

One thing I love about the site is the customer photos. As I was looking through the kits, it was so helpful to see the pictures of finished items for each kit made by actual customers. It’s one thing to sell a kit, it’s another to sell a kit that actually works! The customer pictures show that the kits work, and that is something I find rather useful to know, don’t you? 😉

When I was asked to review a crochet kit, I took a look through the available kits. I always have a pile of hooks, needles, notes, yarn balls, and various what~nots sitting on the couch next to me. The Chess Basket kit seemed to be the solution to that problem. I looked at the available colors and found an olive green that would look lovely on my couch!

The kit arrived very quickly for being shipped from abroad! It was so fun to open it up and see all the parts. Everything was well packaged and all the parts were there.

At first glance, the pattern was not written as I have become accustomed to. After all, this kit comes from Spain, and we don’t all do things exactly the same! No worries though, I had no problem understanding what the pattern was saying.  It was written in more of an instruction format than a pattern; as though someone were sitting next to me and explaining what to do next. I realized I had a lot more yarn than I needed, so when I finished the bottom square, I added 4 more rows to make it a larger rectangle. I then just had to do a little math to make adjustments to the rest of the pattern and my larger Chess Basket was well on its way.

I also added a few rounds to the sides of the basket to make it taller. I have a feeling I could have made 2 baskets if I had made them the size indicated in the pattern. I was impresses with the amount of yarn sent. I am told that all the kits contain enough yarn to adjust the patterns a bit for size, if you want or need to do so. Upon finishing the Chess Basket I sat it in it’s new home. Look how perfect it is! As a matter of fact, it is there right now, with hooks, needles, yarn, a measuring tape, and a note to myself.
