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..
