One of the hardest parts of planning a new crochet or knit project is pairing the pattern with just the right yarn - it's always a gamble! Well I just discovered last month that Lion Brand sells kits right on their website - the perfect pairing of yarns and patterns!
If you've been to the Lion Brand website before, and didn't spot the kits, you're not alone! I don't know how I managed to overlook them before - I'm going to blame the delicious, distracting yarn fumes. But so you can find them too, I took this screenshot!
If you look at the list of links on the left of the site, and click on "Shop", and then on "Kits"... you get the kits! Here are some of my favorites (click on their names to see more and order your own):
My Favorite Adult Crochet Kit: Striated Triangles Shawl
Featuring six balls of Lion Brand Landscapes, this shawl is gorgeous, and the yarn itself does all the color work!
My Favorite Adult Knit Kit: Zig Zag Dress
This kit comes in several sizes, and features super soft and colorful Heartland yarn! I've linked to the XL/1X size above, look for other sizes on the site!
My Favorite Decorator Crochet Kit: Celtic Afghan
This is a showstopper! Featuring Vanna's Choice it looks fantastic and is still family friendly!
My Favorite Decorator Knit Kit: Bobbled Tree Throw
Another amazing blanket! Knit with Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, it's sure to be a family heirloom!
My Favorite Babies and Children Crochet Kit: Freehold Afghan
This looks like one of those go-to patterns you'll make again and again - with 24/7 Cotton it's bright and cozy! This one is so popular it's out of stock for May 2016 - look for it in June!
My Favorite Babies and Children Knit Kit: Fishy Wishy Afghan
This is so bright and fun, and quite unique for a knitted blanket! Great way to give Modern Baby a try if you haven't already fallen in love with it!
Whew! That was tough - there are so many kits to choose from, and so many other favorites I could've shared. There's even a Moogly pattern kitted up there for your convenience! So head on over to the Lion Brand site today and take a peek at all the kits - this month most are on sale, so it's the perfect time to give one a try!

Does the Lion brand site even exist anymore? I've tried and tried to get there but it just doesn't load...it does absolutely nothing! Hmmm

I'm there almost every day! Sounds like you might need to clear your cache.
