My first post for the #needleworkmonday
The picture is of a knitted linen top, that I designed, with a nice lace detail around yoke.
Looking forward to the warmer weather to be able to wear it.

Happy #NeedlworkMonday, @mariamelga! We are so happy to see you posting here. Welcome! What a gorgeous top, and in linen, which is one of my very favorite fibers! Can't wait to see more post from you, and feel free to share your making process with us.
Hi @crystalize, thank you very much for welcoming me! I hope the crafty community can grow more and more here on steemit.
It certainly is, @mariamelga--every week we get increasing participation of Steemians posting, upvoting and in some cases, resteeming eachothers' work. It's an amazing community of support for us needleworkers. I hope you've had the chance to see some of the other posts today. Enjoy!
Nice add
thank you!
I love working with linen. Your lace detail looks fantastic.
It was my first work with linen and although it has a completely different feel than wool, I enjoyed the change. Thank you for your comment!
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

So incredibly cool not just in knitting skill but in designing as well! I love it! It must have taken ages.
@pheonixwren It took me a while because I used small needles, but the design in itself is kind of a boxy top. Thank you for your comment!
This is so beautiful!
