I also battled this yarn today. This was the In Dreams Mystery Shawl ... its no longer a mystery. I was having a lot of difficulty with this pattern. I still want to knit it and and want to do the beading this time around. The yarn I already used was in a pretty sorry state after ripping:
So I re-skeined it and washed it and left it to dry. Here it is back in shape with the rest of the supplies. This one I am not starting until I've finished all my WIPs!!
***Optional Side Quest August 14-28***
Organize your Knitting Needle Stash
Do you really know what sizes and how many of each you have in your stash? Do you give up trying to find the size you are looking for and just buy another set? Take this time and collect up all your needles and catalog them!
If you are a member of Ravelry you can do it there. You can jot it down in the notebook. You can make up a spreadsheet in Excel, whatever suits your fancy and is something that you will finish doing!!
Complete this for the post on 9/1/11 and you might just win a prize!!

Just love that Bat Shawl it is a stunning piece of work!
Great picture and a great shawl! Sorry the other shawl hasn't worked out yet!
LOVE that bat shawl! I'd totally wear that. But I think it'd end up in my WIP pile for a long time, heh.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That shawl looks amazing. It's also amazing how much difference a bath can make to some frogged yarn!!
Wow, that yarn was just like new! And, how was the big day? :)
Your shawl turned out awesome! Congrats on getting it done.
Huzzah! A glorious victory! That is a fabulous looking shawl. I posted yesterday.....and I've linked.
That is one of the coolest shawls I've seen! Wonderful job!
