Varigated yarn can be fun to do things with- scarves almost always seem to end up looking good. Since you have the yarn, why not make the scarf and use it to learn the lace pattern. If it turns out pleasing to you, then you'll have a delicious scarf. If you don't like it, donate it to your local womens shelter. What have you got to lose except learning a bit about varigated yarns and a new lace pattern?
