Wrong size needles and yarn??
This was quite a frustrating kit to use as a complete beginner. The needles are too large to use with the yarn provided, so after several hours of failed attempts where my knitting had enormous gaps in it, I was getting extremely frustrated. I decided to go out and get smaller needles for the yarn, and thicker yarn to use with the needles provided in the kit, and I finally had some success. You would assume the yarn provided in the kit would be the right thickness to use with the needles, but this didn't seem to be the case. Very frustrating for a beginner who doesn't know what they're doing - I thought I was failing for hours because I was doing something wrong.

Nothing like the picture!
The back of the box states there was a "chunky" yarn in beige and a "medium worsted" yarn in burgundy, but the chunky yarn for the hat was more like a cheap yellow dk. It was nothing like the colour on the front of the box and completely the wrong weight to use the circular needles in the kit to give a nice chunky beanie. Overall very disappointed in this kit!
