I think these are the best 500 rs I have spent. When i started making the bee, i messed up and completely destroyed the magic circle. So I started making other crochet projects. Then after a while I tried making the magic circle on my own and voila- I made my own bee. Since then I have bought more yarn and needles and done many more independent projects. I would say I wasn't very happy with the help mode over email because it would take so much time for you to reply and repeated followups. However, the manual and the videos were very detailed. I think anyone who wants to start crochet should pick up this kit.
