A Journey of Crochet and Milestones: Exploring the Mary Maxim Crochet Club for June

Introduction

Hello everyone! It's Trish, the purple yarn enthusiast. I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for subscribing to my channel recently. Reaching a milestone of a thousand subscribers has been an incredible journey, and I am truly grateful for your support. To show my appreciation, I'll be hosting a giveaway soon, so stay tuned for that exciting announcement!

The Excitement of Reaching a Milestone

Reaching a thousand subscribers is a significant milestone for any content creator, and it has been no different for me. The feeling of knowing that there are a thousand individuals out there who enjoy my crochet adventures is simply amazing. I couldn't have done it without your support, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you.

An Apology and Explanation

Now, before we dive into the main topic of this video, I want to address an issue that I encountered regarding the Mary Maxim Crochet Club for June. I must apologize for any confusion or disappointment that this may cause. It was a matter of circumstance and had nothing to do with any faults or flaws with Mary Maxim. Allow me to explain further.

The Contents of the Mary Maxim Crochet Club for June

The June crochet club from Mary Maxim arrived with three delicious yarn cakes from their Roll With It Sparkle collection. I must confess, I absolutely adore these cakes of yarn. There's just something delightful about the combination of colors and sparkle that instantly brings a smile to my face. The two different colorways provided in the club were called Destiny and Magic. Each colorway came with three cakes, with one pattern requiring two cakes and the other requiring just one. However, I personally feel that both patterns could benefit from two cakes, but I'll elaborate on that in a moment.

The Roll With It Sparkle Yarn and Its Characteristics

Let's talk a bit about the yarn itself. The Roll With It Sparkle yarn is primarily composed of 97% acrylic and 3% other fibers, which is responsible for the mesmerizing sparkle that runs through it. Each cake boasts an impressive 561 yards, making it a medium-weight yarn (number four). It is conveniently machine washable and dryable, ensuring that your creations can withstand the test of time.

A Surprise Discovery

As I eagerly opened the package containing the June crochet club, I couldn't help but notice a sense of deja vu. It turns out that one of the patterns included in the club was one that I had recently purchased as a separate kit from Mary Maxim. To my surprise, it was the same kit that had made its way into the club! Though initially taken aback, I found humor in the situation and decided to view it as an opportunity to explore the pattern using the Roll With It Sparkle yarn.

The Patterns Included in the Club

The first pattern included in the club was the Red Heart Mum and Me Crochet Shawl. This charming shawl pattern requires two balls of yarn, perfect for the mom and me concept. The skill level is classified as easy by Yarnspirations, meaning it's accessible to crocheters of various skill levels. When worn, the shawl drapes beautifully over the shoulders, and I must say, the effect is rather stunning.

The second pattern provided was the Red Heart Yarnspirations All Over Lace Triangular Crochet Shawl. As the name suggests, this pattern creates a triangular-shaped shawl adorned with intricate lacework. Though visually intricate, the pattern is quite simple to follow. When draped over the shoulders, the shawl exudes elegance and grace.

Personal Opinions on the Roll With It Sparkle Yarn

While the Roll With It Sparkle yarn is undeniably visually appealing, I must admit that it lacks the softness I typically prefer. The sparkle present in the yarn adds a unique touch, but it does compromise the overall softness and texture. As someone who values comfort in their creations, this particular yarn falls a bit short of my expectations. However, I acknowledge that some crocheters may find the sparkle to be a desirable feature. The yarn is perfectly suitable for shawls or projects that don't directly touch the skin.

A Surprise Discovery

As I mentioned earlier, I had recently purchased three kits to create the Red Heart Yarnspirations All Over Lace Triangular Crochet Shawl. Little did I know that one of those kits would end up in the Mary Maxim Crochet Club for June. With four kits in total, I now have ample yarn to create several shawls. I may need to find alternative uses for the other yarn colors, but I'm confident that inspiration will strike when the time is right.

The Second Job: Becoming an Uber Driver

In light of the rising costs of living and the desire to indulge in more crochet supplies, I recently took on a second job as an Uber driver. While it may seem unrelated to crochet, this venture helps me sustain my passion for creating content and acquiring new materials. It has been an exciting and enjoyable experience so far, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to connect with different individuals. Of course, just like any job, there may be challenging moments, but I remain optimistic and grateful for the chance to pursue my passions.

Wrapping Up and Future Expectations

As I conclude this video, I want to thank you all once again for your unwavering support and encouragement. The Mary Maxim Crochet Club for June has brought both excitement and unexpected surprises. I eagerly await future packages and the creative possibilities they hold.

Before I sign off, I want to encourage everyone to continue practicing kindness and compassion towards one another. In a world where negativity often dominates, it's crucial to uplift and support each other. Small acts of kindness go a long way, and together, we can make a difference in the world. Take care, stay safe, and keep crocheting your heart out. Until next time!
