Gets worst by the month
I'm writing again because I want to stop anyone who is thinking about hopping on this kit. It would be very easy to catch up, but if you choose the Acrylic in the Romantic, you will HATE it. I have been disappointed with every color sent, but was going to preserver. April's color!!!??? Completely changes everything from the chance and hope of tones of brown and rose to just plain ugly. Unbelievable. Someone is have a good laugh at our expense. Forget my idea that I might make a top out of the squares, cause no way this yarn would hold up as a blanket, once I got them all done. Its game over as far as I'm concerned. I can't add a picture of what I'm talking about which is a shame. I am canceling. 18 bucks spent on ugly is just stupid.

Will not look the same as pictured
First, the yarn is a lite 3 in my opinion, not a worsted or wt 4. It does split so you have to work slow. Second, the first color sent, if you are doing the Berroco acrylic, is the center color, supposedly. You are to work 3 blocks and the center circle in this color. It is a deep purple/red. The pattern states that it is Fig. The ball of yarn has no color name, only a number 9797, which I am unable to fine on the website. So, the color that most went with my decor, that seemingly rosy color that I see in the pictures, apparently is not a part of this blanket. Maybe they are using the wood yarn pictures for both romantic wool and acrylic? So, I guess we will all be surprised each month by the colors that will be sent. Should name it Surprise blanket. Also, I thought there would be some teaching, as in a video to follow, but if there is I don't see one. Not even Creative Grandma who was paid to promote this blanket is doing a tutorial, which I find odd. But, this is my first experience with these Blanket Clubs. I can eventually understand what a writer puts in their patterns, but this one is not the best I've ever worked with. If you cannot read patterns, you are not going to be able to make this blanket. Since I'm just getting started, I gave this a 3 star, because I have a hum sort of thought about it.
