I am looking to do a lace shawl for myself. I am totally in love with
Moscow Nights and
Pacific NW, but there's no way on this earth I can afford $49 and $40 respectively for yarn. :(
I guess my post really has 2 purposes - first: what yarn(s) would you recommend substituting for either of the above patterns? Second: what similar patterns would you recommend that don't call for uber-expensive yarn?
TIA!
