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:
