Well here's Lisa in her linen scarf. She loves it! After blocking it I was so hyped on the way the linen turned out I went to the LYS and splurged on some lovely yellow Euroflax by Louet Sales. I'm going to use the same pattern but make it wider and shorter for a narrow stole. I think it will make a lovely spring/summer wrap.

If you are going to knit a lot with it, you might check into some of the thin nylon liner gloves used for winter. I used to use them when working with some synthetic yarns because of allergic reactions. Takes a bit of practice to adapt your tension for gauge but it beats the dickens out of sore fingers or, in my case, rashes. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Nice drape. Can't help but wonder what it feels like. Guess I'll just have to go out and get some linen yarn and knit it up.
