Review on Craft Crush Thread Bowls Kit by Peter Alradwan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm addicted to it! :-)

I love this thing. I was curious. I am a fan of crafts and always looking for new and interesting things and this filled the bill. I'm by no means a knitter so I was curious how difficult this would be to use. It arrived and right out of the box, I got it up and running in no time. I agree with what some say about the needles being difficult to get into some of the holes on the base but as said before if you swap them out they fit. Try not to push it in, but if you have a needle that just won't go no matter what hole you use, I've found that it's best to hold the needle by the base and use it to pull the needle to push through. If you just hold the needle up and try to force it, there is a chance it will break. It's much faster than regular knitting and you can see your progress very quickly. I use reverse stitching to join my pieces as it makes the stitches more even and gives a slightly better look. If you're considering this, I suggest watching some YouTube videos. This will give you a good idea of how it works and what you can do with it. If you decide to buy it, give yourself a chance to find out what it does. Make an oven mitt or small napkin to get your hands on. There is a certain learning curve involved. They should have even tension, but you'll figure it out. It's fun and easy. If you like doing something while watching TV, this is good for that. Before starting work I made a cosmetic bag by adding beads to the yarn and it turned out very cute. There are so many possibilities. Once you get comfortable with it and like it, you can add more looms and connect them together. When I first ordered this I was afraid the base would move and fall off making it difficult to use, but I was wrong. The base is lightly weighted and there are small round rubber feet on the underside. Those little round rubber feet keep it from moving and falling off as they seem to stick a bit to the table or whatever you are working with. I have a foldable snack table that I use when I watch TV in the evenings and it works great. I like it very much and the delivery was fast as always with Revain.
