I&#8217;d been watching people talking about it for a few months on some of the spinning groups I&#8217;m in on Facebook, and I was soooo tempted. It&#8217;s a themed box, which is packed with random fibery goodness for you to enjoy. I&#8217;ve seen 100 different yarn version of these types of mystery boxes, but for some reason have never really been tempted by them, but the spinning ones? Oh yes, I want them all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve watched unboxing videos to get an idea of what they are like and saw people posting their photos, and I wanted one so bad! It felt a bit splurgy to me at $49 + European shipping, especially with me being such a new spinner, but it really wasn&#8217;t so bad once I saw the dollar amount converted to Euro! In the end I went for it and I had actually just missed out on the June box, so I was primed and ready when the July box was announced.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to do something a little different this time, and made a video!<\/p>\n<p>I KNOW!! I hate doing videos and rarely do it but I was so excited that before I knew what I was doing, I had my phone out and was recording myself going through the box. I wasn&#8217;t even out of my pyjamas yet!<\/p>\n<p>So, a few things to make note of before you watch the video.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This was just done for fun, I have zero aspirations of being the next big thing in crafty podcasting. So, take it for what it is.<\/li>\n<li>The theme is actually &#8220;Brrrrr&#8221; not &#8220;Chill&#8221; but I was close. Same diff&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>In my excitement, and desire to not show my address, I opened the box upside down! I&#8217;m sure if the Spinning Box folks watch this video (which they will as I will send them a link) they&#8217;ll facepalm. It should be opened delicately, showing the lovely sticker, etc.. but no, that&#8217;s not how I roll. I ripped that sucker open like a 3 year old on xmas morning. Sorry!<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s swearing. I&#8217;m me, what can I say. I&#8217;m not meant to be around delicate ears.<\/li>\n<li>If it seems like I can&#8217;t read, it&#8217;s not true, I can read! I was just looking at everything through the screen of my phone, so it was awkward.<\/li>\n<li>The Popping Candy did not disappoint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ok, here you go! Almost 20 minutes of me babbling, making porn noises at fiber and being an all around weirdo. YOU&#8217;RE WELCOME!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Spinning Box July (Brrrrr)  Unboxing\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IBfEoqQ4ZHo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the way it works is, each box gets a portion of a larger selection of fiber that is available from their participants. I only realised this after seeing someone else post their July box, which included all different stuff. This lead to me doing the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Panicking, thinking I&#8217;d gotten the wrong box.<\/li>\n<li>Excitedly comparing what I got with others who had just received theirs.<\/li>\n<li>Finding this video and realising there are actually TONS of possibilities for what you receive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"July 2018 Spinning Box - BRRRRRR\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uFQqMQIfCGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Asking the lady behind The Spinning Box to do a MEGA box where you get one of everything (I shudder to think of what the overseas shipping would be on that, though!)<\/li>\n<li>Asking if you order TWO boxes, will they make sure there are no doubles (yes, they will!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, this was like Christmas in July for me and I absolutely loved it!
