The pattern is fine and can be altered to not use the nupps which I personally find time consuming. I did a sample. My problem is that I don't want to buy all of this yarn. Can we just get a kit? Knitpicks: Can you please, please consider making a kit? I am sure that all of us would buy it even at full price! Just do it already! It can't be hard. Wendy: are you still interested in splitting the cost? Let me know!

My only reason for a poor review is related to KP not listening to their customers practically begging for the yarn to knit or crochet this to be made into a kit so it is an affordable option. I knit and crochet. I would love to try this at least once with this great color palette. It is gorgeous and the colors so vast. This is an awesome opportunity for KP to bring sales to this particular line of yarn. But - they refuse to take any action after so many customer requests. If you make this a kit - and thus affordable - I will be the first in line to purchase. We shouldn't have to meet up with strangers online to split this bundle for the sake of this pattern. Silly. That said, if anybody is interested, I would happily split this into thirds with two others.

Dear Knit picks, how many people are going to beg you for a kit before you answer. It's just ridiculous to buy all that yarn and use a quarter of it. Could you bring out a kit or a ultimate knit palette blanket group so people can swap yarn they don't need. Please do something. Many people want to knit this.

I think spending over $400 for all of this yarn is a bit much. I really like this blanket, I think it's beautiful but it's just completely cost prohibitive. That being said *if* you did buy it (and the extra white yarn for the border) you could make 4 blankets total. I, too, vote for it to be made into a kit!

Hi Suzi Atkinson. I might be interested in the wool you have, depending on price and where you are..

Great colors. I'm in the process of making. Would someone buy extra yarn? There will be lots left over.

Having such fun with this. I'm doing two at once to keep the colors apart. I do one square a day, then pick up other knitting in my spare time. Since I've knitted since age nine, my 72 year old hands do not do nuks and bobbles anymore, so after three tries at that, I just skipped all that. No one will care if they are missing. I hope with eight grandchildren to make eight blankets of the 150 balls of yarn. That makes the cost reasonable. I'd better keep living. May 23rd for the first two.

I love this pattern, but the colour pack is too restrictive for me. Nearly £400 isn't manageable. A set with the pattern of roughly 15g balls and the right amount of white could go for £80- £120 though I think and still be viable.

I was also going to suggest you bring out a kit, as otherwise, buying all those yarns will be very very expensive. But after reading somebody's opinion on the pattern, I am having my doubts.i will probably knit a bit with the colours, I already have and then decide. The photo looks GORGEOUS though! Very tempting

Would love it in a kit form.

I would love to make this. Make a kit please!

Echoing others' wish for a kit. Specific to MGordon, since I love the concept of all these colors but you say the pattern is not worth it, maybe same concept, but all mitered squares instead? Like the Hue Shift blanket, but solid colors rather than stripes? I still can't do it, though, if I have to spend over $400.

Will be happy to make this when it comes out as a kit, but the idea of buying 150 balls and then not using 4/5ths of them is prohibitive.

Please make a kit! This pattern is gorgeous - but cost prohibitive. Love the size and the 150 colors is what makes this blanket unique - so please do not simplify the pattern by size, or number of colors! (Accidentally reviewed this on crochet, but meant for knit)

It is absolutely beautiful, but it would be much easier to sell as a kit with mini balls of yarn.

Would love to see mini skeins for this! Also wish that the pattern was more precise on how the squares were joined in the pictures shown.

This is beautiful, but I agree. I'd like to have a kit or mini-skeins instead of having 40 g of each of 150 colors left over. The cost for that is prohibitive for me.

I would consider knitting this if there was a kit offered. I won't spend $400+ to make a throw. It's beautiful though and I might consider black instead of white for the border color.

I would like to see you offer to Build a Kit for this project, or to sell a collection of mini-balls. The blanket is gorgeous, but some of us can't justify spending over $400 on yarn for an afghan - especially if we have only limited use for the 40 grams of each color that will be left over. I'd also love to see a similar pattern in a superwash yarn.

This pattern is ridiculous, I'm an experienced knitter and I spent all day just testing the pattern. After ripping out my work over a dozen times, my hands ache from struggling with the k5tog....no matter how loose I knitted the stitches. Please don't waste your time on this pattern, just not worth the headache and frustration which is too bad because I loved the concept of using all the different colors.
