I started out with Vidalana Trellis in Clematis as my MC. I had not used a sock yarn with chain construction before, and by row 40 it was clear that this yarn was a total disaster for cabling and was turning into a shredded mess. So I unraveled everything and started over with Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Sock. Much better slightly_smiling_face
