Let customers speak for us
Lovely afghan. Instructions are very helpful. The only thing that I have encountered is you don’t want to miss stitches or miss counting stitches. If you buy this beautiful afghan make sure you have stitch markers.
Working on it right now. I like it.
I have not started on this blanket yet, but I love all the other Mary Maxon baby blankets I've done; and I have done a lot. The yellow yarn color is so, pretty and it is very soft. I rate this blanket is going to be a five star.
I cheated a bit - used linked double crochet to get more contrast and used a different border. But the key was the filet crochet pattern and it is fabulous. Just a gorgeous result. I did need an extra skein of yarn but expected that due to the linked double crochet.
I love Red Heart yarn, and this particular color I use for a specific afghan! So happy I could order, and it came so quickly! I have since received another request for an afghan, so will probably order more soon. My only negative is that pick-up orders time is only daytime...no evening hours for those of us who work. But I understand office/retail business...so I will make it work. Wish the store was open, too! Bless you all and Merry Christmas! 😁
Love the feel of this yarn!
I love this yarn and this pattern! I have made this blanket several times and everybody loves it!
Nice cotton blend. I liked the final feel of my washcloths much better than the 100% cotton I’ve used before.
I wanted to crochet some washcloths but the 100% cotton I have used before felt really stiff so I tried this which is a blend. I am super happy I did. They are much softer and look great.
Color is betond beautiful. Accurately shown online - it just doesnt do it justice. So far it works up beautifully. Cant wait for my sweater to be completed!
Great puzzles from Mary Maxim!
I love this kit. The directions are easy to follow. I I especially like that there is a printed pattern.
Loved it
Always a good selection of yarn
Good value yarn. Worked up nice. Wasn’t the softest but not bad. Overall good yarn for the price.
