Crochet Society Box: A Review of Subscription Box Number 29

Introduction

Hello, crochet enthusiasts! Welcome to another review of the Crochet Society subscription box. I'm Summer, and in this video, I'll be sharing my experience with box number 29. Despite a few challenges with updating my credit card information, I managed to renew my subscription for a full year, saving both time and money in the process. Now, let's dive into the contents of this wintry-themed box and explore the exciting projects and surprises it has to offer.

Renewing the Subscription

Before we get into the details, let me quickly walk you through the process of renewing my subscription. Due to a change in my credit card's expiration date, I faced some difficulty accessing my account. However, after reaching out to the Crochet Society support team, I was able to update my information and resume my subscription. To my delight, I discovered that by opting for the annual payment option, I saved a total of fifty dollars. This not only eased my mind but also ensured that I could enjoy uninterrupted creativity for the entire year.

The Contents of Box Number 29

The Yarn Selection

One of the highlights of every Crochet Society box is undoubtedly the yarn selection, and box number 29 did not disappoint. This box featured a delightful array of colors, primarily focusing on various shades of gray, cream, pink, and aqua. The star of the show was the Bella Coco's DK Confection yarn in the enchanting "Earl Gray" shade. Apart from the beautiful gray hues, the box also included two skeins of "Fudge" and some "Icing Sugar" for those sweet finishing touches. Additionally, I was pleased to find the familiar "Bubble Gum" color, although I couldn't help but wonder if our UK counterparts have a different shade for their bubble gum. If you're from the UK, I'd love to know in the comments!

The Notions Bag and Crochet Hook

Accompanying the yarn was a charming little notions bag, perfect for storing all your crochet essentials. With its smooth and pliable leather-like material, the bag exudes elegance and practicality. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful addition of a pattern holder, ensuring that my instructions remained accessible and organized throughout my projects. As for the crochet hook, box number 29 featured a 3.5mm hook, adorned with adorable black polka dots on a white background. The silver finish added a touch of sophistication to this essential tool.

Stitch Marker and Embroidery Floss

In every Crochet Society box, there's always a delightful surprise awaiting us. This time, it was a stitch marker with a delightful Parisian theme. The intricately designed Eiffel Towers and the inscription "Love from the Crochet Society" made this little trinket a cherished addition to my collection. Alongside the stitch marker, I found a small envelope containing an embroidery floss. It was a lovely surprise, and I couldn't resist using my Eiffel Tower scissors to open it. The floss inside was perfect for adding delicate details to my crochet projects.

The Pattern Holder and Pouch

Another noteworthy inclusion in box number 29 was the pattern holder and pouch. Crafted from the same smooth, plasticky leather material as the notions bag, this pouch allowed me to keep my patterns and accompanying materials in one secure place. Its compact size made it convenient to carry around, ensuring that I could crochet on-the-go without worrying about losing any important components. As for the pattern holder, the design showcased the versatility of crochet, with a front cover featuring a delightful crocheting illustration.

Review of Projects in the Box

With the yarn and tools accounted for, let's turn our attention to the exciting projects included in subscription box number 29.

Interview with Tommy Adams

The box kicked off with an engaging interview with Tommy Adams, a talented designer known for his miniature amigurumis. This section offered insights into Tommy's creative process, inspiration, and tips for fellow crochet enthusiasts. As someone who appreciates the art of amigurumi, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Tommy's journey and the whimsical characters he brings to life through his designs.

Tommy Adams' Little Hippo

Following the interview, we were introduced to Tommy Adams' adorable creation - the Little Hippo in a holiday-themed design. This little hippo had always dreamt of visiting France, making it a fitting inclusion in this box's French-inspired theme. The accompanying pattern allowed me to recreate this lovable amigurumi, complete with its endearing hat. I can't wait to start crocheting this little character and bring a smile to my loved ones' faces.

Lauren Willis' Little Vest

For those looking for a wearable project, box number 29 also featured a pattern for Lauren Willis' Little Vest. This versatile pattern incorporated baubles and double crochet stitches, resulting in a stunning vest with a playful twist. While the box didn't provide enough yarn to complete this project entirely, it showcased the potential to customize the pattern based on personal preferences. With measurements provided, crocheters of all sizes can create their unique version of this charming vest.

Additional Patterns and Free Christmas Crochet Patterns

In addition to the featured projects, Crochet Society always offers extra patterns to further enhance our crochet experience. Although I haven't explored the additional patterns yet, I can't wait to dive into the virtual library and uncover more creative possibilities. Furthermore, the box included a collection of free Christmas crochet patterns from Craft World, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the festive spirit and spread joy through our handmade creations. From a cute penguin to an elf and a captivating "Peace on Earth" bunting, these patterns offer an array of options to decorate our homes this holiday season.

Customer Testimonials and Makes

To get a feel for the wider crochet community's thoughts on the Crochet Society box, I took a peek at the customer testimonials and makes section. It was heartwarming to see fellow crocheters sharing their excitement and love for the box. The testimonials showcased the value that subscribers, including a young enthusiast who had saved their pocket money to purchase a box, found in these thoughtfully curated collections. Additionally, the makes section displayed various creations, including cushions, bags, and more, highlighting the endless possibilities one can achieve with the Crochet Society box.
