Pink Abacus Socks

Found a Canadian independent dyer of yarn based in Calgary
Thought I would try out their yarn on a pair of socks
They have a huge range of colours. 
As I wanted to knit the Abacus sock pattern I chose a semi solid 80/20 merino/nylon fingering
The yarn is delightfully sot and smooth . I'll have to wait until winter to see how well it wears

The pattern is easy to follow
I decided to only use one of the twist charts as the difference between the two was not significant in my view

I also added an extra couple of rows of pattern to the front extending the pattern further down the leg. In fact I should probably have done this to the back as well

Here's a phot showing the twit pattern on the front:

 After frogging the Abacus socks , I needed a simple pattern that wouldn't mind the stripes yarn

This fit the bill, simple yet requiring some attention!

I used the plain blue for rib and heel and the stripes for the rest. This left me with 24g  of stripes so I could probably have got the socks out of the striped yarn and not used the plain blue

Blue Abacus Socks

 Saw this pattern and was intrigued to try it
Used plain blue for the rib and then switched to blue stripes for the pattern
Unfortunately while it is a well written pattern and easy to follow , the yarn I chose was not the right one
As you can see the stripes are too dominant and overwhelm the twisted pattern.
So it has been frogged
