Knitting Kit Review: Unboxing

October 8, 2013

I was recently given the opportunity to choose something to review from Presents for Men. 

I have never knitted in my life, but I have always wanted to learn how to knit. For this reason I chose to review a Knitting Kit. 

Not only does it come in a pretty, spotty case to keep everything, it also has everything a beginner needs to learn how to knit. 

I love the case because it’s hard wearing and will keep all the separate bits and pieces safe, plus it can fit 6 small balls of wool in. 

It also has a carry handle making it perfect to take with you. 

Inside the box

* A pair of bamboo knitting needles
* Buttons 
* A sewing kit
* 6 balls of double knit wool (although the website does say it only includes 4)
* 4 pieces of felt 
* A tape measure
* Instruction book

The bamboo knitting needles are easy to hold and are of very good quality. I was a bit worried that the wool may have not been great, but I am really pleased with the quality of it.
The instruction book provides useful information on how to get started and has additional information included such as how to make pom poms. Something I will be giving a go!
I’m planning on knitting something Christmas themed so ideally I would like to try to knit a Christmas stocking each for our girls, but if that fails then a pretty, warm scarf with pom poms will do!
Keep an eye out for the second part of this review where I will reveal my creation! Wish me luck!

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.
