Free Textured Life Crochet Blanket Pattern

Colors do not blend, they clash

This seems to be a beautiful pattern, BUT, the colors really don't match. Purple Haze: light plum, medium plum, light gray and medium gray. Grape Kiss: white, light grape and medium grape. The grape does not blend with plum, no blending at all, they actually clash. I decided to try the pattern, thinking maybe it would "blend" once it was crocheted into the pattern. WRONG, it's really is not blending. I have now crocheted the first 9 rows of Purple Haze, 8 rows of Grape Kiss, and now on the 2nd stripe of Purple Haze. No, they do not "blend". I bought extra yarn because I wanted it to be a little larger, for the top of a Queen size bed. I will go ahead and finish the pattern because I bought the yarn. The picture on the pattern is oddly showing that the yarn blends together. Maybe once it is totally completed it will look different, but as of where I am now, the Grape Kiss clashes with the neutral Purple Haze shades. I am a bit sad because I wanted it to look good and I loved the texture the pattern picture showed. Now I'm not so sure with the color clash. Also, this yarn is so thick it is hard on the hands, hard to hold tension so the stitches stay even throughout the rows. Had to rip out several of the first rows. You have to keep pulling the tension so everything stays evenly. I would not have tried this yarn knowing it was so hard to hold the correct tension. Or possibly it is the pattern of the stitches used. I didn't read any reviews before buying thick yarn. Wish I would have done research.
