What would you do with Fiesta La Luz

The nearest LYS is about 100 miles north of here in my hometown. I
visit every few months and stop by the shop to purchase something
special for myself. My latest aquisition was a skein of Fiesta La Luz
100% silk, with about 210 yards. It's been sitting in my yarn basket
for a couple of months, and I think I'm finally ready to do something
with it. I only got one hank (it's outrageously expensive IMO, but it
was a birthday present to myself) and I was thinking of a lace scarf,
maybe Branching Out.

My question is, what do you think of that pattern in 100% silk? I've
done a few lace projects and I've knit this scarf twice in alpaca/silk
50/50, with very good results.

Has anyone used this yarn? Got any suggestions or comments? I'd love
to hear them. It's just such gorgeous yarn, and I want to do
something special with it.

TIA

Doing a branching out scarf sounds good to me. With a very special
yarn like that there is some merit to using a pattern you know and
like. Whatever you do, be sure to share a pic. I will have to google
the yarn name as I don't think I have ever seen it. Judy

A Branching Out would be gorgeous, AND since you've done a few, an easy
project, to boot.
I'm wondering tho, perhaps instead a moebious, IF you're *tired* of Branching
Out?
OR, perhaps a different lacey scarf, one that's reversible?

A drop stitch scarf maybe. There is one called Waterfalls that is done out
of La Luz in the XRX book "Ponchos and Wraps, A Knitters Dozen." The scarf
first appeared in Knitters Magazine
