Last night was fantabulous. I just have the greatest family ever. We all got together to celebrate Amanda's and Dave's birthdays. I gave her the blue/green
Clapotis I made with the WotA I hand-dyed. She loved it. I'm also going to make her a newsboy hat out of the leftover skein from that dyelot

I was able to hit gauge with Knitpicks' Sierra -

I ordered some to make a hat for someone for xmas and it was very nice. I also dyed some of my left-overs and it absorbs dye very well, and comes in a hank, too. That's how I was going to overcome their limited color selection. But I digress...
Overall, I can't recommend Lamb's Pride. The mohair content makes it itchy, and it's a barely spun single. Unplied yarn gets very fuzzy and matted over time and your cablework would start to blur. The Sierra has a nice twisted 2-ply that will make cables pop, and holds it's shine after washing. The only advantage is their wide range of colors.
I hope this info helps you out, and feel free to check out my blog any time for knitting info.
