    It comes with 3 stitch markers the only different is one of them is green. It was super similar - aside from the eyes - yarn color and certain packaging. This was super fun to watch! Honestly it’s worth it to buy the kits whether on temu or woobles because once you learn - you can just buy the yarn and start making things on your own or even use the same tutorials and the stitch starter but it’s great to make your own because it helps to crochet on your own in the future ❤

      thank you!!! ☺ thats such a good point! yes ppl have been saying this might be an old version of the real kit. ive reused the pattern to make a plush version of the lion!

    Maybe you’ve already tried it but try switching to a knife grip, it might ease some of the pain on your hands. This type of yarn might also cause a lot of drag and maybe the switch in grip could help.

      Definitely seconding this!! I've been crocheting with weight 4 yarn with 5mm hooks for 20 years and the only time it ever hurts is when I'm legitimately rushing, which makes me increase my tension

    They’re not fake. China doesn’t enforce trademarking they have the economic belief if you can make it cheaper and better quality you should. It’s how they encourage competition. So anyone who outsources to China runs the risk of companies like this buying the product to sell for cheap. The links even take you to woobles and the passwords work. For example on Temu is a lot of Gibson guitar accessories. It doesn’t matter how hard these companies try to take them down if they outsource to China and not places that have intellectual property laws they run the risk of them not being enforced.

      @@kashaestuesday yeah! it's crazy. my boyfriend told me about it when I was surprised by a kit, because he deals with this in his work. his job prevents it by outsourcing to Germany and other places for production that maintain intellectual property laws. once a business chooses to move to China, it is on them to understand the risks. In the Woobles case they work hard to remove the items, but the issue will persist as long as it is produced in china.

    That is one of my gripes with The Woobles kits. They feel overpriced for the content that I'm getting. If I'm paying $40 I want there to be dedicated videos on the kit I bought.
    My hands also hurt! This was weird because I'm used to using small yarn and small hooks, but this was the first time I felt my hands and wrists cramping. I think it's the yarn because it feels more like a shoelace and it makes it harder to manipulate than traditional yarn. The Woobles kit I got made me interested in amigurumi but I think I'm going to stick to wearable right now 😆

    • @kashaestuesday
      @kashaestuesday  7 місяців тому +3

      i totally agree!! the tutorial videos i saw could definitely be a lot better. & YES the yarn is so tough like i was in pain!! haha def prefer my chunky plush yarn. if you give amigurumi a go again, the soft plush chenille yarn is sm smoother to work with than t-shirt yarn!

      @@kashaestuesday The reason it’s so hard is because of the hook they give you. It’s REALLY REALLY rough. An armor clover is 10x better. The yarn is pretty good.

    • @kashaestuesday
      @kashaestuesday  7 днів тому

      the first step (6sc in a magic loop) is written in the woobles pattern instructions and they have a tutorial for a magic loop on their youtube channel as well! but most if not all amigurumi starts out with 6 single crochet stiches in a magic loop so i already knew how to do it from youtube tutorials when i first learned to crochet amigurumi plushies!

      @kashaestuesday thank you very much! My issue is that my brain is slow and after I remember the stitch or just counted it I forget it over and over. I can't follow simple tutorials because I don't understand how to count my own stitches or to make more increases without my project folding to see if there's enough. It's very frustrating and I have only been able to make a deformed marshmellow

    I am not criticizing Kashae; she knowingly bought a counterfeit product for a good purpose. But I do not condone thievery, and that is what the fake Woobles kit manufactuerers are doing. Knowing purchasers are also commiting at least a moral crime. People, please either buy the real product or choose a lower cost kit that is honestly produced and sold. I don't buy from Temu, and now I never will unless they remove this exposed counterfeit product.
