Calling knitters! Advice wanted!

pensnestI was recently introduced to Posh Yarns. They put fabulous new yarns on sale once a week, and reduce the prices on Mondays, then again on Tuesdays. Knitters, beware! Their stuff is fabulous! I visited on a Tuesday and Could Not Resist these two gorgeous confections of merino and silk.

Yummmm!
Anyway, I've been looking at what I might do with them, and have come up with three possibilities. I'd like to show off the colours with something that involves short pieces of stocking or garter stitch, I'd like it to be reasonably interesting to do, and of course I'd like it to be a thing of beauty when completed.
This is Gloria Silk, very elegant, probably easy to knit once one gets into the swing. Might get a bit boring, maybe? And I'm not entirely sure how the colours would work. Hmm.
The second possibility is an Entrelac Scarf. I produced one years ago and gave it to, er, someone, and it might be a nice way of displaying the colours, in short little rows. It could look really stunning, in fact.
Not Seeing The Tree For The Leaves might be the best of all, it's hard to tell, but it does look like a lovely pattern. Would not be something I could take along to Knit & Natter, though!
My... inclination, right now, is that the reds and purples would look fabulous in the Tree For The Leaves design, and I might well went to use the orange/cream/lilac for an entrelac scarf of great splendour. Hard to be sure.
I do have a fabulous autumnal selection of yarns and a fabulously complicated pattern to put them into, but at the moment I don't want to get into quite that much intricacy.
Have you thoughts?
