I am working on this Marty kit and I was astounded to realize the complete video instruction that comes with it. I felt like I had a whole online course in that box. The videos really make it an amazing product. The tools, yarn, box, and brochure are excellent and the videos put it way over the top. As a maker of online tapestry weaving courses, I can say that these videos are fantastic. There was no searching YouTube for how to make a magic ring. The designer Yan shows you. And she shows you absolutely everything else also. This is an amazing product and I've already bought two of the friendship bracelet boxes for my nieces. I've really enjoyed making Marty!
It's a lovely pattern (as it is always the case with Yan Schenkel's patterns -great choice, Zollie!) with excellent instruction videos! Easy to follow. The kit has quality materials. The yarn takes some getting used to, as it is more like a rope and a bit tough. It does not split and gives a beautiful stitch definition, though. The price is a bit steep too, but I understand in view of the contents of the kit. I am at this point more than halfway through and it looks great!
Got this for my granddaughter who wants to learn to crochet. She’s already started it.
