The Snow Queen Blanket

The pattern is great, however...

The pattern is great. I think it would be easier to just say "every other row is all sc" but yeah, it's great. The yarn, however... Here's my complaint. When you order the pattern and yarn, the site says that it will ship with a certain brand and color of yarn (Aran Irish Twist or something like that). So while I was reading the comments on this blanket, many people commented that they didn't have enough yarn to finish the blanket and add the border. I did what I thought was reasonable and ordered an extra skein of the same yarn. Easy, right? Nope. Imagine my surprise when the order showed up with 7 skeins of Bernat Supervalue instead. AND one skein, the extra one I ordered, of Aran Irish Twist. Sadface. So now I have to order an 8th skein and of course there's an extra delay and an extra shipping charge/etc. I'm doing the math as I progress through the pattern and I think I'll have enough to finish the main part of the blanket, but not enough for the border.

Super easy graft to follow! The graft is very large which makes it a breeze to follow. I am happy with the pattern and extra happy with the yarn. If you like soft yarn then you will love the yarn in this kit. Great price for the Snow Queen, but I think the shipping is crazy over priced. I can get yarn shipping from the UK at half the price which makes the deals much better.

Love the design. The pattern is very easy to follow. Thank you for a beautiful kit.
