I don't open Net A Porter newsletters these days,they are yet another reminder of my poverty and the fact I CANNOT AFFORD NICE THINGS! However, last week these Wool and the Gang knitting kits popped up though, the packaging and concept is really cute! This pack contains 'all you need' to make a scarf and there are others that make up gloves, hats and waistcoats. My Mum forced me to learn knitting over Christmas, and I became really obsessed for a week or two and sat in bed furiously clacking away at a 'scarf' so I immediately pricked my ears up at this email and visited the site.
Don't get too excited though, at £69 these kits are not for commoners like me...I'm not sure how one justifies that sum for a ball of wool, pattern and needles, best head down to the local wool shop, or even better nab some supplies from a mother or Gran!

omg is that gorgeous, but costly
£69 OMG! It costs like a fiver to get all that stuff from a shop lol... cute but so unnecessary!
Oh how genius, I tell you knitting is the new thing.
Damn, we should get Bob Geldof to send you over some money ;) x
Wow! I think I will leave the knitting to people who can do it (like you!) and just admire it. The price is just ridiculous though, but the colour and concept is...wow!
I'm lucky and my late auntie knitted these fabulous knits and blankets, and i asked and asked my mum to get her to make me a blanket to take to university with me, and she did, with a beautiful scarf. My mum knits really nice ones too. I wish i could learn how to knit! I'm definable going to look it up soon, as i would love to knit with wire and make bracelets. They look so amazing.
Interesting post - and i agree, i would never pay that for wool! x
I saw these online and wondered who on earth they think will buy it. Even if I had the money I know the finished result would not end up looking like that.
