Premier Home Cotton Cone Yarn
Cool pooling

I love buying multicolored yarn to make purses with, because the pooling is always such a surprise. I like the 85/15 cotton/other stuff blend, because the yarn is soft and slightly stretchy.

Scrunchie yarn

I love using this yarn for scrunchies. I can get five from one skein, and the colors are vivid and hold up really well

Big Twist Value Pound Plus Yarn
Wonderful Workhorse Yarn

The amount of Big Twist I go through should be charted and studied. Great yarn, doesn't make my fingers feel gross and chafed, accessible price point.

Leda Yarn
Nice DK Yarn

I like holding this yarn double with a weight 4 to create slightly bulkier material with a marled texture, and you can't beat the price!

Mary Maxim Living Yarn
Squishy and nice

I really like working with this yarn on crochet garments that will get stretched out a bit, such as hats. It holds it shape well, and it doesn't split!

Serenity Chunky Tweed Yarn
Vivid color, great to work with!

I really like using this yarn to crochet wintertime bonnets. The colors are fun, and it is not splitty at all, which I really appreciate.

Open Vee Afghan

Love this pattern! It was coming out beautifully until i pulled the 9th skein of yarn out. It was totally 4 straight ply’s of yarn. I lost at least 1 5th of that skein.
Hopefully I have enough to finish. If not, i will buy another skein as I love the project.

Hh-mmm!

Fell is love with this pattern, ordered it, started it, got frustrated with it, ripped it out, started over, same thing. First time that has happened to me in a very, very long time and I consider myself a more or less an intermediate knitter. But I guess I over-rated myself, so I guess it's just me. Well anyhow...I ripped it out and am using a different pattern and am very happy with the lovely yarn......But had to order 3 more skeins. Oh well........

Loved the pattern

A very easy pattern to follow, my only suggestion (thanks to customer service) is to make it larger. I like to have knitted afghans fit a queen size bed. Therefore I purchased an additional four skeins of yarn. I gave it to my sister, who absolutely loved it. The finished afghan is beautiful.

I am in the middle

I am in the middle of making this afghan. It is beautiful and the pattern is easy enough that I have it memorized and don't need to refer to the directions all the time. Makes is so much more enjoyable to knit.

Delivery during COVID

It was easy to find information on shipment delays on their website. When the warehouse was back in operation, it didn't take unreasonably long to get the order. The wool color is a buttery off-white and the skeins feel dense but soft. I'm very excited to work on this pattern, especially with more time at home. It seems like a good bridge between beginner and intermediate.

open vee afghan

I started this pattern to check gauge. I don't know who does your math but this pattern is total incorrect. It says to cast on 234 sts. The knitting instructions are correct, however, if you add up the gauge you will have a width of 49.75 inches not 44". 234 sts gives you 8 boarder stitches = 1.5". 7-31 stitch patterns at 6.5" each = 45.5" plus one 9 sts pattern at 1.5" gives you a total of 49.75". With this extra width you will require 12 skeins of 4 ounce aran instead of the 9 included in the kit. Finished size will be approximately 50 x 60 excluding fringe. So, I am going to have to order 4 additional skeins to complete the 60" length.

Great yarn but...

The photo and written pattern didn't match when I purchased this kit. Mary Maxim was good about sending out a correction, but I was already into the project and didn't start over. The pattern as written in my kit is ok, just different from what is pictured. The seed stitch border curls inward, and the top and bottom have a ripple effect because of the cables and v pattern. If I make it again, I'll definitely revise the top/bottom and side edges to reduce the curl. I purchased an additional skein when I bought the kit and I needed it to finish the project (I did not add the fringe). The yarn worked up very nicely. It's definitely a warm and comforting afghan.

I haven’t started this one yet as I am finishing another Afghan. I love the Aran yarn and the Aran patterns.

Lovely and easy pattern

For a novice or experienced knitter this is a great pattern and the yarn is super soft.
