Murphy the Electric Eel Crochet Kit

The yarn colors for Murphy are so vibrant in person, and the pre-started loop saved me from the most frustrating part of learning. I finished the whole eel in two evenings and felt genuinely proud of something I made by hand.

The step-by-step videos made it impossible to mess up, and the yarn is pre-looped so you're actually crocheting within ten minutes. I finished Murphy in three evenings and he's got this goofy electric grin that makes me smile every time I pass my desk.

The little loops on his cheeks and the sparkly eyes make him look so friendly even mid-project, and the step-by-step guide in the booklet kept me from getting lost. I finished Murphy in about four evenings, and now I’m hooked on crochet — already eyeing my next kit.
