I heard many recent podcasters mention a Summer Shawlette Knit A Long by Wendy Johnson, I love her patterns. I checked out what I had in my stash that would be appropriate, she recommended slight variegation, but nothing with major color differences or the lace pattern would get lost. I actually don't have many things that are not wildly variegated ... I love that crazy, wild and vibrant sock yarn!
I came up with this skein of Knit Picks Kettle Dyed, now discontinued ... can you see why?!?! This isn't kettle dyed at all, I got this near the end when they figured that out and were discontinuing it, so it was on sale.

Your shawl turned out really lovely!
Dover is beautiful. I know a lot pf people who were disappointed with the kettled-dyed knit picks, but you got a lovely colour
Your shawl turned out very pretty. I've been seeing Wendy's KAL on a few blogs. I keep intending to check out.
OMG, I'm already doing 2 alongs... but I think maybe I'll do Wendy's, too...
