My current carry-around project is a scarf, made of Cinema ribbon yarn (from JCA/Artful yarns; I'm using a pink and purple combo they call "Mrs. Miniver").

The yarn is nice, but I don't think tape or ribbon yarns are really for me. I'm finding it kind of a PITA to knit (it's very slippery, and the only 10 1/2 needles I have are plated nickel or casein; I'm using the casein ones). It also won't stay in a ball, which isn't great for a carry-around project.

At least I have only two balls of this yarn - one for a scarf for me, and one for a scarf for a gift.

and it looks like the spambots have found my work e-mail, despite the fact that I don't give it out (they probably harvested it from the university webpage). This morning I got an email that promised "larger b*lls and p*nis". No thank you. One set of reproductive organs is enough for me.

I don't quite have the b*lls (pun intended) to write back to the spammer/scammers, but someone does: check out The Spam Letters. (Strong language - be forewarned). The ones where he strings the Nigerian money-scammers along are pretty amusing.
