Another linen completed

This seems to be a trend.  I make a linen scarf to order for someone and another person sees it and wants one too.  No problem for me; it's one of my favorites to do.  There is something very addicting and satisfying about watching the colors come together and produce such a lovely fabric.  This one was done in Madeline Tosh Sock, color Whisky Barrel.  This is a weird yarn.  It feels expensive and lush but when you knit with it, it somehow feels smooth and sticky at the same time.  Luxury with a bit of grab?  I can't put my finger on it, but I am not loving this one.  Maybe it's that the fabric that I am used to linen stitch creating is usually soft and flowy like cloth, but this turned out stiffer than I am used to.  I'm not really sure. I love their color palette, but for the money I think I would hesitate to use this line again for a linen stitch scarf.  Nevertheless, the customer loved it and wears it on a regular basis, although he had to be shown how to tie it properly as he had never worn a scarf before.  Apparently his mother tried to steal it, so I may have another order coming my way before too long.  :)
