In love with linen stitch...

It's hard to pick up in a photo, but this simple stitch makes my sea silk yarn absolutely lustrous.  Here's how to do linen stitch, which is not only lovely, but has the added charm of not curling, yay! Work linen stitch on an even number of stitches. Row 1: K1, slip 1 with yarn in front, and repeat this to the end of the row. Row 2: *P1, slip 1 with yarn in back, and repeat this to the end of the row. (Note: when slipping your stitches, always slip as if to purl.) That's it! Only two rows to repeat, and so pretty.
