UPDATE 3/9/08
Well I finally gave up on my MLC scarf: I frogged that thing today and it was very satisfying. I realized I was working it on too small needles and that I would never finish it so will repurpose the yarn to another, more interesting, lace project and use larger needles, probably 3.5mm/U.S. #4. Whatever the new project is, it will be more open and go more quickly. I may also overdye whatever I make with it to tone down the bright yellow in the blend. Currently on my needles is the Peacock Feathers shawl. I'm into chart 4 and enjoying the knitting very much. The comparison of this against the old MLC project helped me make the decision to frog.
best to all,

Let's hear it for Linda, (clapping in background). Frogging a project and putting it into the Cornfield isn't a fun thing. Sometimes, it is necessary.

The beginning:
Here is the 18 inches of my Crest O' the Wave scarf in Knitpicks Shimmer. I started this soon after they introduced the yarn, maybe Feb. 05? It is a really boring 16 row repeat to knit. I like the color itself but I can't decide if I hate where the color lines break in the middle of the scarf due to the length of the repeats. I have used 30 grams out of 100 so far, so am about 1/3 of the way finished (knit til you run out of yarn!).
I had forgotten about this until I found it tucked away while I was looking for something else. I'll try to get back to one repeat per week, but no promises!
