GBIn theory this is fun and accessible In theory this is fun and accessible. In practice it’s a bit different. I crocheted with my grandma as a kid so I have a foundational knowledge, however, these kits, although packaged adorable, are much less accessible even to me. My daughter laughed at the final result, it didn’t look like the photo on the package! Overall, not relaxing, stressful, takes about 8-10 hours for one “Wooble.”

GBYou too can make cute things! I was taught to crochet rag rugs by my gramma growing up but I had no idea how to read a pattern or really make anything that didn’t look weird. I started with Pierre the penguin and blasted through a total of 13 beginner, beginner+, and intermediate critters before finally feeling like I had a good enough grasp to branch out and try new things. I am loving being able to read patterns and make new things!

GBWhere did the negative review go I’ve made dozens of their kits - accessories and full kits. I have left about a dozen five star reviews. I got one kit that didn’t have enough yarn (I crochet tight and never had this issue before). I left a negative review for it. Someone from customer service asked for details including photos of what I did (because apparently I’m not trustworthy). They said sorry and the negative review was never posted. I now don’t trust them. For the amount you get, it is very pricy but I was willing to pay that for learning a skill. Honest reviews are highly important especially for a $40 kit. If you want to try it, I’d recommend the basic beginner kits. Practice with those and then move on from Woobles. It’s unfortunate as I did like the company before that.

GBI can crochet! I have never crocheted before in my life and was able to successfully complete all the kits I’ve tried! Justine’s step-by-step videos are super thorough, easy to understand, AND teach you how to read patterns. I’ve been able to complete several non-Wooble projects just reading a pattern! The Woobles are so cute, I’ve been giving them to my co-workers as lil desk buddies. Cannot recommend these kits highly enough for anyone interested in crocheting!

GBI got my first woobles crochet kit for… I got my first woobles crochet kit for Fred the dinosaur. While going through the directions they never use the animal i was making. This made it confusing when i had to connect the tail onto it because my piece was significantly different than the piece they were showing. The directions aren’t the best. It’s extremely frustrating, and it shouldn’t be for a beginners kit. They are also way too expensive for it to be this confusing. This kit says it takes 3-8 hours to complete. I’ve been working on it for months.
