I bought this yarn in 2009 and in March 2010 made a Drop Stitch Scarf with the skein of Speaking of Parrots. Despite other Ravelers having used 1 skein of ASM for this scarf mine came out very short and it languished unblocked in the knitting basket.
Fast forward to the autumn when I was knitting gloves for work in horrid squeaky acrylic yarn and needed a 'palette' cleanser. I reclaimed the yarn from the Dropped Stitch Scarf and teamed it with Dancing With Your Imagination, then I picked a stitch pattern from Jan Eaton's book.
This yarn was lovely to work with, a real treat after grey acrylic! I think that the stitch pattern shows off the yarn really well and I love the way the two colours sit together, almost blending in some areas. After a month of use the scarf is a little pilly now, but that's to be expected and I don't mind as you can still see a soft sheen from the silk.
