Good idea, really cheap materials,
By Beckster (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Knit Kit Black- All Your Knitting Notions In One Unit!
When I saw the Knit Kit, I was very excited about it the idea of it. Unfortunately it was implemented poorly, with some of the cheapest plastic I've seen in a while. Not all plastic is bad, but this is the flimsy brittle kind - you know the stuff I mean. Below is a list of what did and did not work.I would be willing to pay more for a version with higher quality materials that do not break. All in all, it's the coolness factor of a specialty tool is what makes this concept attractive. But know this: it's actually a rather large device - almost the size of my entire hand, so yes, it takes up as much space all those accessories would if they were combined in a bag. Until the manufacturer updates the Knit Kit with reasonably sturdy material, get yourself a cute little zip top bag, and you can store all these type of items in the same space, without the frustration of breakage, or custom parts. --DID NOT WORK-- Here's the parts that immediately broke, before I even used it: The crochet hook snaps in place on the outside of the unit. The second time I put it away, the hook head snapped off. *sigh* That is totally useless now, and a custom part impossible to replace. The row counter has a lock feature on it. I imagine this is so that when the kit is bumping around in your bag, the number doesn't accidentally increase. Unfortunately the lock works less than 1/2 the time. It's not completely useless, but be warned. You'll want to replace the stitch markers. They are made of a rubbery substance that got pinched between the compartment door and the wall of the scissor well in shipping. Many arrived deformed and some were pinched to the point of breaking open. If you are a knitter, you probably already have a nicer set anyway. -- DID WORK -- Here's the stuff that seems to work, so if this is all you need, maybe it's still worth it: The Tape Measure seems to work just fine, even the return button, which is important. The compartment is useful for holding those itty bitty accessories. (I'm worried about the compartment door breaking off given what happened to the crochet hook, but so far so good. I'll just be careful.) The scissors cut yarn, and the thread cutter will break thread. I'm not sure how the scissors are TSA complaint, but I'll find out soon. Crossing my fingers they don't get taken away because the thread cutter will not cut yarn. The point protectors are there, and feel rubbery. They look cheap but seem ok. I don't use them myself. -Thanks, and I hope you found this helpful in making your decision to try or skip.

Handy - BUT,
By Connie (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Knit Kit Black- All Your Knitting Notions In One Unit!
The concept for this product is good. The execution is not so good. The materials are cheaply made plastic. The crochet hook is permanently bent, so it is almost impossible to use to pick up dropped stitches. It IS handy for keeping all of your "knitting notions" together, but I would rather put things together in a baggie so that I can have better quality products in one spot.

Not the best quality,

This review is from: The Knit Kit Black- All Your Knitting Notions In One Unit!
I've had the pink version of this kit for several months. It's a nice idea but poorly executed. The crochet hook can fall out and get lost. One of the shop models had lost it's and one was lost even though the kit was still sealed in the package. The tips and stitch markers are soft rubber. Not my favorites but serviceable. There's room for a few more if you take tips out. The spring for the tape measure broke the first time I tried to measure something near it's full length. I took the kit apart to try to fix it. The spring had slipped out of it's housing. I've not been able to get it back together and working again. You can put together a similar kit using a small zipper pouch. It's not as neat and compact but it will last longer and cost less.
