I've never been a crafty person, but.... I've never been a crafty person. I've tried knitting once, but I have small hands for my age and I could never hold the needle right. I kept getting ads for Woobles on my Facebook and Instagram and I saw how cute the penguin was and knew I had to atleast try it. It took me a couple weeks of doing a round or 2, stopping for a while and picking it back up before I finished the first project. It wasn't too easy, but it wasn't hard since there were video tutorials on how to do each part. Now, almost a year later I crochet almost every day and I spend arguably too much on yarn to make stuff with :-D. I don't regret it, and if you're looking for a new hobby, picking up a kit might work well for you.

I 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.

Just a heads up… Just a heads up…. My card was declined when I tried to purchase the Harry Potter bundle… on further investigation it looks like it was a mirror website that (thankfully) my bank had already flagged as fraudulent. Just be sure you are purchasing from the correct company.

In 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.”

False advertising The woobles is a great, in theory experience. I have autism, adhd, and dyslexia. I am an outlier. However I trust advertising. Their platform said their items were ptestarted in photos paired with the item sold. Wrong. They were never prestarted. This may feel small to some but for me with disabilities the false advertising has affected me greatly. I contacted them and after a few d changes they just stopped responding
