I was packaging the Madison Cowl and Hand Warmers kits up the other day and I was blowing myself away with how amazingly cute these things are!
I mean that in a non braggy way, of course. It is kind of like when you finish knitting something and someone compliments it, and you yell out immediately, ‘I know! Isn’t it amazing?!’ Because you are just so surprised it turned out so well. Kind of like you weren’t even responsible.
As you can see, this kit here to my left is about to get packaged up! It’s a gray hand warmers kit.
The hand warmers take about half a skein of yarn, so that ball is wrapped up with a Sweatshop tag. The laminated instructions (see that laminated shine?), designed by Tara, is popped into the drawstring project bag.
I was always terrified I was going to forget the buttons every time I packaged a bag up. I’m pretty sure I double checked every bag.
See the cute Illinois stamp in the corner? And that the color of the draw string is the color of the kit? Yeah, we kinda thought of everything.
For the Madison Cowl Kit, each project bag gets a full skein of yarn, again with our cute tag!
Again, laminated instructions and fabric covered buttons round out this kit!
One of my favorite parts of this project was pairing the fabric for the buttons with the colors we chose for the cowls.
See all the button/cowl match ups here!
Our tag on the bag makes it happen! This kit is ready to go!
We got our first feedback yesterday! Lori said:
I love everything about it! The bag, the pattern with your notes, all the tags, the buttons, everything! You and Tara did such an excellent job on those!
Thanks, Lori! Order your own kit on our etsy page.
























This kits are really impressive! You gals did an amazing job!
