Introduction
Welcome to my channel, Grace Art! In this video, I will be unboxing the second box from Hobby Yarns, the Hobby Advent Calendar for December 2021. Before we dive into the unboxing, I would like to remind you to subscribe, comment, like, and share this video with your loved ones. Don't forget to hit the bell button to receive notifications whenever I post a new video. I must warn you, if you haven't opened your box yet, this video might contain spoilers. But if you're as excited as I am, let's open the box and discover its contents together.
Unboxing the Hobby Yarns Advent Calendar
As I open the box, I am greeted with a pamphlet providing information on where to find the pattern for the advent calendar. It's always great to have access to the pattern to guide us through our project. Now, let's delve into the exciting surprises the box holds.
The Yarn: Baby Cotton
One of the highlights of this advent calendar is the inclusion of baby cotton yarn. We have four balls of 100% organic Egyptian cotton yarn. This yarn is perfect for crochet projects and can be used with a 3.5-3.5mm crochet hook or any needle of your choice. Each ball weighs 50 grams and provides approximately 170 meters of yarn. In this box, I received two balls of light green yarn and two balls in a darker hue, both of which complement each other beautifully.
The Wool Cone and Wool Comb
Next, let's explore the wool cone and wool comb that came with the advent calendar. The wool cone is a unique tool used for holding and dispensing yarn. It has a rough texture, so it's important to handle it with care to avoid any scratches or injury. The wool comb, on the other hand, is a handy accessory for projects that require combing or taming the yarn. It's definitely something I'll be experimenting with in future projects.
The Hand Cream and Tote Bag
Included in this box is a hand cream from E Cooking. This hand cream is infused with organic apricot kernel oil and almond oil, promising a delightful scent. It's always a treat to receive skincare products in surprise boxes, and I'm looking forward to trying out this hand cream. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find a tote bag with the message "Your Lovers" on it. This bag will definitely come in handy for storing my yarn and projects on-the-go.
Exploring the Extra Accessories
In addition to the main items, the advent calendar also included a few extra accessories that add to the overall experience. I received a cord that I believe will be used in our project, although I'm not certain about its specific purpose yet. There is also a canvas bag for storing the wool cone and wool comb, which is a thoughtful addition. It's always great to have a dedicated bag for specific accessories, making them easy to find and preventing them from getting lost.
Getting Started on the Project
Now that we've explored all the items in the advent calendar, it's time to begin our project. With the yarn, crochet hook, leather cord, wool needles, stitch marker, scissors, and pattern in hand, we're all set to get creative. I'm excited to start crocheting and see how the project unfolds.
Working on the Hand Towel
The project for this week's advent calendar is to create a hand towel. Although I didn't have much time to complete it, I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project. The pattern used a combination of single crochets and a drop stitch technique that creates a unique texture. The instructions called for a hand towel measuring 54 centimeters, but I was only able to finish a section measuring about 10 centimeters. I plan to continue working on the project and complete it in my own time.
The Final Result
Despite not fully completing the hand towel, I can already see the potential in this project. The finished section showcases the beautiful texture created by the drop stitch technique. Once completed, this hand towel will make a lovely addition to any bathroom or kitchen. I'm proud of the progress I've made so far and look forward to working on the project at my own pace.
