I came here to post that I am starting the Dark Mark illusion scarf and the last several posts are exactly about that! 
Oddly enough while I was buying my yarn for it tonight I was debating about buying the Red Heart SS since the colors my Wal-Mart has are limited and the Red Heart they do have is a better match than the Caron… but I decided that I like the feel of the Caron much better and got that! Too funny! :lol:
(Plus the only cast-on I know how to do is long-tail! That’s the one that DH’s grandmother taught me!)
