I saw a post here about linen stitch and it’s fascinated me. Had to make room in my scrap wool box, so made a snood for my husband in a wool/alpaca mix.
Beautiful work. This really is a fascinating stitch.
I also tried out the linen stitch, it’s lovely isn’t it? It would make a good, noncurling hem or cuff on a sweater, or an interesting detail on stranded colour work. I liked that even in a single colour section it gives the same double thickness as stranded work and the same tension too because otherwise plain sections can feel thin in comparison to stranded. It would be good for a scarf too as the back is also lovely, not a reversible stitch as it does look different but it is also a nice result.
The snood for your husband has worked out really well.
It turned out great, love the colours 
I used linen stitch and Red Heart black and white yarn (I think it was called Zebra? Too long ago to remember!) to make place mats once. Wish I had photos as they turned out really interesting!
Sounds great
I did a jumper a few months back that used the linen stitch knit, yarn forward & slip etc, but instead of using larger needles it called for doubling the the stitches and using much smaller needles, the stitches were then aligned so that it looked like stocking stitch on both sides. It made a great border between the rib work and the body of the jumper
That sounds really interesting. So many things to try!
