Black Like My Heart

Time to get away from all of that tricky colorwork in favor of a relatively plain black sweater. The pattern is Wicked from Zephyr Style. It's knit top down, with a wide cable neck and lots of options--I'm planning to knit long sleeves, and no front pocket, but I like the look of the short-sleeve version too. The yarn is Brown Sheep Cotton Wool in color CW-005 Cavern. I'm using Knitpicks Options US #6 needles, which are great but very, very pointy--ouch! The neckline cables are knit without a cable needle, which was very easy with the Knitpicks.

I'm hoping to make a lot of progress on this in the next couple of days, while I wait for my first Rockin' Sock Club package to arrive!
