the Soxophone Player

I guess if I can knit bright colours to sustain me through cloudy days, I can knit battleship gray on a bright, beautiful sunny day.

These are Schoeller & Stahl Fortissima Socka 100 in colour #2059 – Anthrazit Meliert (mottled dark gray).

75% wool  25%  nylon; 420m/100g

This pair is size Large, knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47.

You can’t see it – at least I can’t – even if you click the photo larger – but this is another pair done with a 1:1 top, Eye of the Partridge square heel, and gussets.

The dark gray, to my surprise, wasn’t any more difficult to work with than black. I thought the stitches would be impossible to see.
