What sets the kit apart from other Beginners Kits?
Why have I included so much in the kit?
Your Mindful Crochet Experience includes the following:
Yarn: Enough to make a lap blanket. You may choose 3 separate colours, 2 of the same and 1 different
The yarn is sourced locally Pretty Knits Wool Shop Darlington
Hooks: Ergonomic hooks, rainbow or plain (or you may choose 1 bespoke handmade hook)
Pattern: The pattern is written in US terms, I have left and right handed versions available for the same price
Waterproof project bag: I handmake a waterproof project bag for your items, we will discuss the fabric choices together (examples)
Scissors: Essential for crochet
Darning needles: Within the crochet kit lies a humble yet indispensable tool—the darning needle! Darning needles plays a vital role in finishing your crochet projects, ensuring every stitch is neatly finished and every yarn tail is securely fastened.
Stitch markers and row counters: These unobtrusive little helpers play a vital role for even the most experienced crocheter in ensuring you don’t lose your way as you crochet your blanket. You can attach them to corners or rows.
Tape measure: This allows you to meet your gauge and match the designers crocheting style, although for this particular pattern it is not required it may become an essential piece of kit for your future journey
Yarn bowl: As you work on your crochet project, the yarn bowl serves as a focal point, inviting you to embrace the present moment. The act of gently pulling yarn from the bowl becomes a meditative exercise, fostering mindfulness and a sense of calmness. The yarn bowl is a 3d printed cat.
Posture cushion:
Fidget toys: Fidget toys are an unconventional addition to crochet kits but I am nothing if not unconventional! You may find that when learning this new skill you become frustrated, that’s OK, their inclusion in my kits allows you to stop and take a moment, squeeze your frustration into them and then go back to what you were doing, enriching the crafting experience by promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
Journey Journal: The crochet journal is designed to capture not just your learning experience but your thoughts, inspirations, emotions and what makes you - you. The Journey Journal will become a testament to your personal growth, your mindfulness, and your new skill
As described earlier the first part of the journal allows you to document your crochet journey, the next part of the journal will contain very gentle activities aimed at finding out a little bit more about you.
When you have purchased the kit I will contact you and depending on your preference we can chat via email or facebook to find your perfect fabric and yarn colours.
