Reynard Socks by Kirsten Kapur, a very straightforward knit once you get beyond the cuff, the intricacies of which are more fiddly than difficult but which make establishing a rhythm quite hard.
Black yarn on black needles may not have been a wise choice for these, but The Uncommon Thread Lush Twist ('Coven') has produced a lovely fabric, and my KnitPro Karbonz were ideal for all the twisted stitches, tiny cables, and the bobbles which make the foxes' eyes.
If you like a gentle challenge, I'd recommend the pattern.
I've moved on to something a little more colourful!
A work of art!
This Christmas I made a pair of socks as a random act of kindness for a young lady that works at the mall. You should have seen her face.

They are smashing as ever. I've discovered Knit Pro Cubix in metal and have decided they are the very best dpns ever. They have a wonderful feel and are great for dark yarn. I like Karbonz too but you must have good eyesight to have worked these lovely socks.
