I finally finished my black shawl. I still need to write the pattern. The yarn is Aussi sock, 2 1/2 skeins. Needles are US #6/4.0 mm. I delivered it to the yarn company at the trade show Sunday, only a couple of days late. Fancy photos will be taken later this week and inserted in the pattern.
I've been working on a pair of socks since early May, or not working, because of the shawl and sewing deadlines. This is how far I am now. They are for a May 19 birthday. He'll get them when they're finished. Yarn is Zitron Trekking Pro Natura in a denim color. Needles are Knit Picks Harmony US# 1.5/2.5 mm. The pattern is vintage, adapted to the target foot. I didn't knit 10 1/2" legs.

gorgeous! i've done black before too. very hard to knit unless the lighting is VERY good.
Absolutely beautiful!!! It certainly looks like an heirloom piece and I'm extra impressed you could do it in black. I know how hard on the eyes that can be unless you are under 40. :)
I'm not under 40. I hold it up to the light often.
