Here's that pattern I needed Butterfly for

Love the site, love her designs, but the cost of the Butterfly gives me pause. I'll think about it again once I've finished the two pairs of socks I started since then!


$10.00 for just the pattern? It would give me pause, too! It is lovely, but that is an awful price.

Higs, Katherine

I know...what can I say, I was on a spree (I haven't dared add up all I bought in NS & PEI)! And it's less in U.S. dollars (only a bit, though). Add that to the $12/skein that the Butterfly cotton cost, and you see why I appealed for a substitute.

Hi Katherine,

I suggested this substitute before, but you might not have read my post as it was made a few weeks after your original one:

's from Elann, and is identical to Diamond Yarns Cantata. I've usedit on several projects, and been very happy with the results. At about$2.20 Canadian per ball, it would be considerably cheaper than theButterfly cotton as well. Good luck, and it is a very nice design, Alison
