knitting of the Linen

lest you think we've not
been knitting here at the
home of the Knitting Companion,
i offer up some knit.

this is a humble swatch/sample
to see how this new linen (new to me)
knit up. This image shows the sample
un washed and yet unironed.
but i know you'll appreciate the cranberry
colour and the way the stitch detail pops.
the linen is
louet's Euroflax, fine/sport weight.

i had read that the linen
was now much softer than ever
before. and i can honestly tell
you that i was impressed
at how Unrough & un-linen-like
this yarn was to
work up this swatch.

time to water the plants.
Must not forget again this week.

I'm in the mood to try knitting
with some linen. Have you ever tried that?
Hmm. maybe after i've tried it
i'll be the one complaining that
it's stiff . but i won't know
if i don't try it for myself.
