Denmark Socks by Nancy Bush

This pattern is from "Knitting on the Road" by Nancy Bush. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shephard sport in Twilight. I didn't intend to order this in sport weight but I guess I wasn't paying attention and this is what ended up in my cart.

Turns out it works perfectly for this pattern, which only calls for 56 stitches cast on. For a pattern with cables, that's not going to work for me with a fingering weight yarn.

Love the pattern; love the colorway. I wish I could get more of it but it was one of the limited edition colors from Jimmy Beans (January 2010) and it's sold out. They describe it as "similar to Black Purl but without the black." I've got Black Purl in my stash so I think I'll dig it out and compare the two.
