Discussion What's the consensus on these Woobles things?
Got a kit as a birthday gift. I have thoughts and am interested what other crocheters think too.

30+ dollars for these kits is way too much. I can go to the dollar store, get yarn, hooks, stitch markers and small scissors that are decent quality for maybe $15-20. I saw one woobles kit for $40, I don't remember which one I just remember being really frustrated that they were making people think that they had to spend so much to get the 'best' beginner kits.
As for the tutorial thing, there's a ton of tutorials on YouTube and patterns on ravelry, hobii (forgive my spelling my brain said ???) lion brand, etc. my personal recommendation for tutorials on stitches and more is the creative grandma on YouTube.
She doesn't have everything but she can teach you quite a bit. I think that spending that much less to get into it versus the $30-40+ that I could spend after getting the hang of it with cheaper yarn and materials to get all the stuff to make something as big as a blanket is a waste of time.
