Let customers speak for us
Have not started it yet but the instructions look great, lots of information
I have crocheted six of MJs sweaters in the last 3 years but this is my first kit and first time using MJs yarn. Mary Maxim makes the process very easy by offering kits - they arrive in a clear reusable zipper bag with heavy printed patterns making it easy to start crocheting.
The only thing I have to say is greatness. I got 3 boxes of the same yarn, but a little bit of a difference in each one. If you buy more than 2 maybe make the boyarn different. I love them really addicting.
I saw this is beautiful. As soon as I finished with my current project I’m going to start this!
Very cute and good sized. Soft yarn. I got an extra skein of gold because I saw other reviews. Was doing multiple bags and didn't want to be slowed down.
Very cute and good sized gift bag. The yarn is soft
I use this for dish scrubbers all the time I love it and use it

AI-generated from customer reviews.
Overall a nice design, but thankfully I have some experience and was able to identify and correct several errors in the instructions. Also, with a minor adjustment, I was able to create a far more dramatic diamond pattern for the center panel. Yarn was ok and washed up well.
The directions were fairly easy to follow, and I love the results.
I found it to be very tedious to piece together all of the vertical sections. . . very time-consuming. It took awhile to get the hang of the "cabling" stitches, and my hands (particularly my left thumb joint) got very cramped as I was trying too hard to maintain tension. Overall, it's a beautiful pattern, but tedious.
The instructions were a learning curve, lol, I haven't worked with written patterns for quite some time, and things have changed. My girls picked this blanket, so I have accepted their challenge of working 3 blankets at the same time!
These are truly a labor of love, and I am so happy with the way they are coming together.
Beth is a very talented designer :clap: :raised_hands:.
The yarn is so soft. It will make a cuddly blanket!
The color of the yarn is lovely but it is very scratchy, not soft. This is the third kit and the third different type of yarn I've purchased. All three types of yarn have been rough, not soft at all. I will probably purchase a softer yarn locally before I start the project.
I’ve been crocheting for 40+years and can follow most every pattern. This should not be marked as intermediate. Instructions are hard to follow. The stitches they have made up are similarly named, making it difficult to follow. And their very complex stitches aren’t broken down or demonstrated in any way. I’ve done cable patterns before and there is no reason for them to be as complicated as this pattern. There’s no way I want to follow these instructions long enough to complete an afghan so I gave up early. Gave it the stars only because the yarn in the kit is nice.
Thank you for your feedback on our Diamonds & Cables Blanket pattern. We apologize for any difficulty you experienced while following the instructions. We will definitely take your comments into consideration and work on improving the clarity of our instructions. In the meantime, if you need any project assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We would be more than happy to help you in any way we can.
I was confused by the instructions - there's nothing wrong with the instructions per se, I was just confused by them. Maybe it's because of my stroke - who knows? I called customer service on a Wednesday, and they very graciously said they would help out. Today, the following Monday, I got my mail, and lo and behold, there was a sample in it of the thing I was stuck on! Thanks Vicky!
Love this yarn
directions were difficult to follow. stripes didn't line up or come to the same length. extremely disappointed.

Have not started blanket yet but love the color and texture of the yarn.

I love the cable design and the deep purple color. The yarn is good to work with. I have crocheted for many years and have made all kinds of projects but had a lot of trouble trying to figure out panel A. I called customer service seeking some help and requested a sample piece be sent to me so I could compare with mine before I go any further with that panel. I’m working in panel B while waiting and have not tried the other panels yet.
The photo of the final product looks nice but the yarn and pattern are irritating. I’m 3 skeins in and all of them had a least one place where it was fuzzy and knotted up because the yarn had been broken and tied together. I can tell the pattern has errors but the link to the corrections on the site doesn’t work for this particular pattern. Not a relaxing or fun experience with this pattern.
These kits are gorgeous and my girls will love them :heart_eyes:.
Just recieved my kit. I started by pre-reading the directions. I'm checking today for information on some of the intricate stitches. I was hoping there was a video available to help.
Was purchased as a gift for a friend. She loved it - but hasn't made it yet. But any afghan kit I have purchased has always had enough yarn and great instructions.
Can't wait to start this blanket.
The quality of the yarn was fine. My complaint is with the instructions. They are missing a lot of detail. It took me a week to figure out just one section.
Can't wait to start this blanket.
Every time I’ve ordered from here my items are received quickly and look exactly as represented in the booklet and on their website.
Great quality and values.
