Sock Fail and Restart

I posted about taking a sock class here and the sock to be knit was the Ballet.  Well I came home and started knitting in earnest and found that the yarn was a too lightly plied and picking up stitches for the cables was an exercise in frustration.


I finally figured out that this yarn and pattern pairing was not going to work out for me.  I went back to the Ravelry thread where the sock class was discussed and decided to tackle a previously knit sock pattern instead.


It is the Wavelength pattern with a simpler pattern of yarn overs, knit 2 togethers, and slip, slip, knits.


So I restarted the socks and am liking them better.
