Tag: are assorted craft sets worth it
Last week, I shared a post about my 1 year journey learning to crochet. I’ve mainly used assorted craft kits, as they’re – in my opinion – the best way to pick up a new craft.

I’ve been wanting to try punch needle for ages, and recently, I caved in and bought an assorted punch needle set. I completed the project in a few days, and here are my thoughts after trying to punch needle for the very first time.
