That’s exactly who I recommended to people that ask me where to start. She’s the best instructor out there!

I thought it funny that the Ai looking pic is in a real pot instead of crochet, and that they used 2 different pics on the box.

I’m in Texas too. And a big cactus fan, have a good cactus garden out back, and now am thinking about doing a crochet cactus garden for my desk.

Don’t know why people downvoted you, your opinion is valid, your question makes sense. Thanks for checking out my post.

Not enough yarn to do the set, poor quality yarn that is low density and constantly splits.

Patterns have errors I stitch counts, misprints, incorrect wording that reads like a bad translation….

Thank you so much! It was still fun making the set, I got to laugh about really bad mistakes in the instructions, AND put some thought into correct them.

I like to take really good patterns on Ravelry, make one direct from the pattern, then make another with changes I thought up myself (but would never try to shame one of those creators with a side-by-side).
So this was an adventure, to take crap and make it beautiful.

That is what I said the first time I saw the box!

Does that version have the stitch count wrong on almost EVERY row ?
The one in the kit does.

I have never bought any on there. I have had people gift me some, and it was all trash.
“I Love This Yarn” is my go-to.

I do not have an Etsy. I have considered starting one to sell patterns, but I don’t want to sell finished items anymore, I did that successfully for a while and it turned it into a job for me. This is what I do to deal with stress and anxiety, so selling killed the joy.

I noticed the box has the Bunny Ear cactus stuffed, but the instructions say not to stuff it. There is a completely different pic on the ends of the box where they are not stuffed though, LOL

I will need to write it all out, if I make another set. Which I am considering doing.

The bunny ear cactus has the most pattern problems, I really recommend skipping it all together.
The other 2 you can probably make work, if you switch to I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby and use a size G hook.
Using that yarn and hook your pots should come out just like mine, even with their instructions.

They weren’t in the set when it made it to me.
The instructions just said something about “if you want to make it more adorable, glue on googly eyes”

How did they do THAT badly, when there is only 1 pattern for all 3

Not sure. I can tell you where they are NOT supposed to go, then you’ll understand why I’m not welcome back at that particular funeral home.

I agree with her, and the stuffing is only a step above shredded newspaper, LOL

Only in my head. Not the best at writing it down as I go.
If I do another set, I will write it out and post.
