On my needles right now is the Cabernet Infinity Scarf (in the "adult neckwarmer" size). I'm knitting it in a 50/50 alpaca/tussah silk blend, Knitpicks Diadem Solid, in "Sapphire". My opinion of this yarn is mixed. On the one hand I LOVE the rich, intense colour, the sheen, the ultra soft feel, and the luxurious drape to the yarn. But on the other hand it is a very splitty, making it hard to work with and it looks like it might fuzz and show wear quickly.
But still, I do love the feel of it ---- and my neck is cold! So I shall continue.
Progress is slow because my time and attention is divided among so many different projects right now. It's also a fairly complicated lace and 8 stitch cable combination that is slow to knit --- especially in a dark yarn that splits easily. Most days I only get about 4 rows done before I wander off to pursue one of my other interests.
