This is one of the most exciting knitting project I've seen in a while. How intriguing! I just ordered my yarn (smoky brown and black) and I can tell that there will be a lot of silk stainless left over. I encourage you to post some ideas for all of us who'll want to use the rest of it...

Deceptively simple. Beautiful but not the easiest yarn to use. Essential to use metal needles (I found out) when you get to the smaller needle sizes. The stainless snags on wooden needles. And because of the fine gauge of the yarn it's easy to mess up and a little challenging to repair. All that said, it's a fantastic scarf in the end, and a project that kept me really interested all the way along.
