I haven't ever knit with linen, though I love to wear it. Any insight? It doesn't have much elasticity--how does that affect the knitting?

This finished piece is a little stiff and it doesn't have much give. I haven't given it a lot of wear yet but the more you use and wash linen, the softer it gets. Also, in knitting we can always play with the gauge and the use of thicker needles would have probably give it more elasticity. Anyway I'm looking forward to work with linen again and maybe then I can give you a better informed opinion! Thanks for commenting
