Customer photo review of Curate Crochet Box - Monthly Subscription

Jennie E.Verified

I've been crocheting since I was at primary school; nearly 50 years. I'm am expert knitter but have never learnt to read crochet patterns. The combination of pictures, pattern and explanatory video has made making this little bag an interesting pleasure. I've learnt gently and been pushed to think about my craft a little more. I've produced something which, unlike most of my crafts, I'm keeping for me because I love it. I'm halfway through the next month and already eagerly anticipating the t...

Really lovely kit with high quality yarn, crochet hook and accessories, the video was very good and well used! I lined my bag as I thought it would get more use.

Really enjoyed making this hottie cover. I did change the design of the appliqué slightly but it was a perfect project for the season with just the right mix of calming rhythm and having to think about the decorative elements. Looking forward to using it now!

Customer photo review of The Curate Crochet Box Advent 2023

Carol C.Verified

I have made all but the final project (still ongoing) so here are a few pictures. (The stocking and top is also now hanging up on my fireplace!). This is a fabulous advent calendar, I loved opening the elements for the projects and the lovely gifts too! I will definitely buy it again next year if there is another one....!

The Curate Crochet Box Advent 2023

Donna A.Verified

I have never made anything like this and I found the base a real challenge, but with the combination of written pattern and video I was able to do it. Absolutely brilliant kit, gorgeously packaged and a lovely finished piece to be proud of. Thank you so much, I am already looking forward to the next project.

I absolutely loved making this bag - I finished it in a couple of days! Super easy - lovely stitches and lovely yarn! Now I just need to find more bases to make bags for friends as gifts!

Love the designs, these are all ‘works in progress’, easy to follow patterns and step by step, clear videos, looking forward to future projects. The September subscription box looks amazing!

The Parisienne bag was my first curate crochet box. And now I wonder why I waited so long! The box contained all the high quality materials needed for the project, the written instructions were clear and the video helped with techniques I was unfamiliar with. I couldn’t wait to order another. I loved the mix of simple, quick to work up stitches for the bag and more challenging (but well explained in the video) interesting stitches for the leaves in the Monstera project bag. The projects themselv...

Haven’t started the bag yet but literally cannot wait, this bag is going to be beautiful! I have been in a bit of a crochet funk recently but this has really got me inspired! Thank you Lottie and Albert Xx

Lesley W.Verified

This is my very first attempt at a crochet project, I loved it. I practiced my granny squares for quite a while but it was very reassuring to have a video tutorial to help me every step of the way. I have 2 more boxes to complete and I feel very confident that I will be able to achieve completing them with the help of the tutorials. Recommend Lottie&Albert subscription boxes, 5* service.

Another fabulous monthly box from Lottie And Albert, love learning new stitches and discovering new yarns. As a relative newcomer to the magic world of crochet I would probably still be just stuck on doing blankets if not for these monthly delights as the booklets and video tutorials are such an amazing help 🥰

These boxes continue to improve my crochet skills and my ability to create something wonderful at the end. The first stitch on the chunky scarf took a bit of perseverance to understand how to create it, but once I had got my head around that stitch this was one of the quicker makes. The other scarf must be one of my favourite boxes and was a joy to make with clear instructions.

Customer photo review of Spot On Sweater Crochet Pattern XS-5XL

Emma K.Verified

I only started crocheting this year and have fallen in love with it. I found Lottie and Albert when searching for modern crochet patterns. I bought this gorgeous pattern and have only got round to choosing the colours and doing my sample swatch but the pattern looks great and easy to follow. I’ve been too busy with Lindsey’s gorgeous Gingerbread blanket CAL, which I recently purchased from Lottie and Albert too. Such a joy to make!

Paulina W.Verified

This was such an enjoyable project to complete. Addition of the cotton liner is a great idea, but I would have preferred it to be larger so can be stitched in as full size lining, rather than having to add my own. Other than that a great box. Looking forward to the next one.

I'm a relative newbie - first project was the Christmas Cal, now I'm hooked!! Loving the monthly projects with new techniques - would never have believed you can crochet Aran designs. The videos are a big help to check bits I'm unsure about. Many thanks Lindsey!!

I’m a beginner to crochet after trying to learn for many years- I’ve loved my first two boxes and found the instructions and videos so helpful. I’m so pleased with both projects- they are very likely not perfect but I’m so happy I’ve actually started to understand crochet! Now getting started on the Lisboa tiles tote 😊

Really happy with my first box. Everything is high quality and arrived personalised and well packaged. I can’t wait to make these beautiful bowls and learn a new style of crochet in the process! Thank you

Customer photo review of Life's A Picnic Hook Roll

Fiona S.Verified

I’m Fiona and I’m a Curate-a-holic 🥴 I’m fairly new to crochet and these projects caught my eye. There’s a new challenge in each one but nothing overwhelming & clear guidance in each one. Couldn’t help myself getting all the back boxes I could get hold of 😳

Fiona W.Verified

Another great box, really enjoyed making, haven't got round to doing the leaves yet, found it a bit harder to understand, will need more time and attention to get my head round it , but will hopefully get round to it. Thank you for adding the time stamps ☺️

I'm a beginner, my first project was a scarf. This is my second. I'm loving making something so nice. I have had to undo it a few times as I want it looking good. This is my 3rd attempt and I'm still enjoying it. Can't wait to finish it 😊

Elizabeth B.Verified

I really enjoyed this project, especially learning how to create cables and despite the fact I can’t count crochet stitches. It was my first box. The instructions are very clear and the video was helpful as I could see what I had to do and relate it to the instructions. I didn’t think I could do the cables and create the effects and I am pleased with my hat. It was a project for all the family as the cat had to kill the Pom Pom before I could wear the hat. She kindly helped with unravelling th...

I have loved the two projects I've done so far. I really enjoy making things I wouldn't normally have a go at. The boxes are packaged so well, they're a delight 🙂

Who would have thought that I only learnt to crochet 8 months ago - my first big project was the Christmas Cal. Also the first time I have followed a pattern without the video (although I did check a couple of things) These Yarn Boxes are a great way to learn new techniques - looking forward to making the next one!! PS I decided to make a wee clutch purse with the leftover yarn....

What a fantastic set of wash bags, the extra items in the box are so cute 🐝 🍯 an easy pattern to follow, I didn't use the video guide but its good to know its there to help.

Hazel T.Verified

I absolutely adore my monthly crochet boxes. I only started learning to crochet in July of this year, and these kits (plus the wonderful tutorial videos that accompany them) have helped me so, so much. My confidence and knowledge in crochet have blossomed. I have never enjoyed a hobby so much, and I look forward to every box.

This was my first box and I loved making these little bags. Pattern was very easy to understand. I did find the little bees a bit fiddly but the video helped enormously and was easy to follow. Can’t wait until I receive my next box.

Caroline H.Verified

Had to do a few extra rows to ensure a good fit on the bowl & I crocheted around the edge rather than sewed as I found that easier. Pattern easy to follow & love the yarn

Customer photo review of Curate Crochet Box - Gift a Box

Leslie P.Verified

Loved this project! I've only been crocheting for about a year, so it took some extra effort to adjust to UK terms, but I got the hang of it! Made a matching ear warmer headband and sent the whole lot to my sister on the East Coast. Looking forward to the next box already!

Loved this pattern and the yarn. Such pretty colours in the contrast colour yarn. I enjoyed using this stitch, very effective and what I love about these crochet boxes is the chance to try new and interesting yarns. Thank you!

I always wanted to crochet socks but had never managed it until now. I loved crocheting my colour block socks. It’s great having a box with everything in it and the video is great when you get stuck. Lovely clear instructions with pictures. Now to try the striped socks.

Bridget V.Verified

The patterns were really easy to follow and the finished products are beautiful. The colour choice for the patterns fits wonderfully and the quality of yarn is perfect. My only criticism would be that I wish this had been January’s box so that I could have received the box and made the items in advance of Valentine’s Day.

Laura A.Verified

I absolutely love this bag. I never thought I would be able to crochet something like this, but the easy to follow instructions and video made it possible. Can’t wait to start on the next kit

Elizabeth B.Verified

Love how I’m inspired to try new aspects of crocheting … I have never tried to crochet anything into a pattern (such as this bee) and would have never attempted these beautiful trio of market bags! However, it’s been made so easy to follow the instructions and I’ve totally enjoyed making these bags. 😁

Heather H.Verified

How cute is this? And I made it!! I was a bit intimidated by the tapestry crochet and it definately took some practice but the instruction videos are so good. I love it and I can't believe I was able to do it! 😍

Jen T.Verified

A box like this is the perfect crafty companion, especially curling up in the evenings to crochet whilst spending a few days away by the sea. Everything that I needed was in the box, the written pattern is accompanied by a clearly explained video, if you learn visually (like me!) and I can’t wait to finish it now I’m home!
