Love this yarn! So soft. Very easy to work with.
I am a complete newbie. Never knew how to knit but I practiced and learnt all the required techniques before I worked with my actual yarn. The multi coloured intarsia is quite hard for beginners so I would recommend using only 2 colours for intarsia and duplicate stitch the remaining colours and details. Completed the prohject in 1.5 months and while it definitely doesn't look as good as an experienced knitter since I've made a lot of mistakes on the intarsia parts, I am very proud of my cardigan :> Amaze amaze amaze!
I love this yarn! I make baby blankets to donate to local places. The yarn is soft, doesn't split, and has a great colo selection. AND its machine wash and dry!
Great pattern. I have the locomotive sweater that my Mother knit for my Dan in the 70's
Great yarn!
Beautiful yarn. Made a shawl with it come out wonderful.
Perfect match for the color i needed
Multicolor is fabulous. True #2 and soft.
Love the pattern found it easy to follow. Thank you. Would like one of a tiger. Or eagle.
Came sooner than expected, fit over my glasses and work great!
I was very happy with my yarn! I ordered 12 , I got 9 of 1 color and 3 of another color. Plenty of each to make lots of items. I received the cones which I was really happy about . I got a nice mixture of the small skeins that came with each one. This should last me a long time but I would definitely order again. What a great value!
Am going to use the ideas for a bunch of 5th graders. Thanks
The Vintage Wallpaper Throw is an easy and fun project! I loved crocheting this throw and took it everywhere. People would come up to me and ask me about it and want to touch the yarn which is very soft. Of course I had to excitedly tell them all about Bag O Day and her easy tutorials! She does have a tutorial of this throw which I used a couple times for the border. I have never put a border on a blanket before. I love how quick and easy the half double crochet stitch is, itβs also my favorite stitch so far. This kit or the finished project would make a great gift! I will buy this again in other colors.
I just downloaded this pattern. I can't wait to get started. One question...How many ounces or yards are in a ball? I've never heard of this before.
Just wrote a review about Bug Twist twinkle yarn. Used the word sparkle in reference instead of Twinkle. So sorry,but it definitely is βsparklyβπ

I love it! Fun to make. I completed it in 19 days.
I finally got started on this and finished my squares. I began cross stitching but found out that I am missing the black yarn. This is the first time doing Tunisian and had to figure out how to bury the stitches.
I have a 5-year-old grandson who is going to love this blanket. His favorite things are cars and help vehicles. This is perfect for his big Christmas present for this year. I was so excited when I saw this and could not resist buying it.
Almost finished making it. Grandson is going to love it
Cross-stitch was a new skill for me and I enjoyed learning it. Pattern and graphs were easy to follow. Nice, consistent yarn.
Just started on this project. Good instructions and graphs are easy to follow. Yarn choice is excellent.
Love it! Nice yarn. Delivered on time.
Clear instructions on this kit. Yarn feels so good and the colors are outstanding together.
Fairly simple to do. The blocks are pick-up-and-go size with only a few colors foe embroidery. Instructions are fairly clear -doesn't distinguish between highlighting embroidery and main embroidery.
Overall, pleased.
That Wheels Blanket is adorable. I made 2 of them and get compliments galore! Love how the wheels for the vehicles are sewed on afterwards. I would highly recommend this Wheels Blanket. Fun to make and it turrned out beautiful.
I wish the kit used a yarn besides Red Heart Super Saver. Super Saver is such a coarse, scratchy yarn. The only other negative is splitting the 4 ply yarn to 2 ply for the embroideryβ¦. That is a pain! Could have just added a 2 ply in the colors required.
Iβm still embroidering so I donβt know how well it goes together. Overall, I would buy the kit again. I think itβs going to be very cute.
Unfortunately, the yarn is Red Heart Super Saver, which is scratchy both before and after washing. The pattern is cute and instructions clear, but doing embroidery over crochet is harder than it looks, and as another reviewer said, the back of the blanket is impossible to keep looking good. If I were to finish this, I would sew a piece of flannel on the blanket to camouflage the back. I've abandoned the project and now have skeins upon skeins of scratchy acrylic yarn to find another use for. Lesson learned: don't buy kits without knowing more about the yarn and the pattern.

Did not like how it was cross stitched. Looked horrible. Changed it up and knit the pattern in. Came out so much nicer.
Hi Mary, thank you for your feedback. If there is anything we can help you with please contact customer service at 8884422266 or by email at caninfo@marymaxim.com
love th kit. Very intense, but lot of fun. THANK YOU.
Clear, concise instrucyions; easily portable project; colour appealing to a toddler . Good quality for the price.
I bought this as a gift to make for my newborn grandson. The yarn is very cheap looking and not soft at all. The project did not mention all the embroidery required and after you do the embroidery the backside of the blanket looks like a jumbled mess, not something I would give proudly to anyone. This project will not get made. Terrible!

I wish it had been clear this was cross stitch over afghan stitch (which I never heard of) I fudged it with all crochet- which didnβt work great- I still had to do some cross stitch over but I am not happy with the result. Not worth the cost for this kit- donβt think I will order kits again .

Very cute well constructed blanket for my grandson. Will be cherished for many years
i also did not realize it was cross stitch over afghan stitch blocks. I'm a little worried how the cross stitch will hold up with little kids--lots of possible points for snagging. Instructions should tell you to chain 33 so you will have 32 squares to embroider over as the graphs show. i may try using the graphs for a tapestry or intarsia stitched blanket. I'll read descriptions more closely and not be distracted by the cuteness!
Blanket is adorable but the yarn should have been a baby yarn not this still cheap yarn. Starlette by Mary maxim would have been so much better

This is a baby blanket, but the yarn is not baby yarn they used red heart super saver which I don't use as it isn't a soft yarn. For the price they should have used a baby yarn or softer brand

Itβs a shame the kit does not use better quality yarn or sell the pattern separately so I can choose better yarn. There is not enough ways to soften this yarn to an acceptable use.

Learned the afghan stitch! Wish my cross stitching was better.
I canβt wait to make this for my grandson. Heβs going to love it. Finally his very own special blanket.
This is a great afgan . I'm learning how to color change for the first time. Thankyou YouTube!!!! It's a fun one to learn:sweat_smile: Thankyou.

I was surprised that this is a Tunisian crochet project. I didnβt see that in the write up.
The surprised to see the patterns were cross-stitched over solid blocks.
This is not at all what I expected.
The yarn is basic acrylic; nothing special.
I was expecting a traditional crocheted project with the pattern made by changing colors.
This was not advertised adequately.
Iβm disappointed and frustrated to say the least.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact customer service at 8009629504.
I got this kit a couple of days ago and agree with the review that said it should have been specified that you need to know the Basic Afghan or Tunisian stitch but the pattern also should have specified that you have to do embroidery and cross stitch all the vehicles in each square. I feel the instructions could have been a LOT more detailed with a lot more illustrations for what it cost. The 2 pages of instructions and then 2 pages for each graph is a lot less that I usually get for a paid pattern. I have done a lot of intermediate patterns, but I felt these intructions are really minimal.
Hello, thank you for your feedback. We do offer project assistance. If you need any help with the wheels blanket, please contact customer service at 1 800 962 9504 to set up project assistance.
This blanket is to die for cute!
I have never used an afghan hook and havenβt cross stitch for 40 years
Love learning new things
