WIP and Project Reconsideration: Prairie Butterfly Socks

About half an hour ago I was going to sit down to write a short post to give you a quick check in on the sock I cast on (and then promptly knit the whole foot of over the course of the weekend) on Saturday. But now things are different.

As I was just rounding 3" of the cuff after finishing a toe after figuring out a heel turn I'd never done before (having to knit back about 3 times in order to get it right) I decided that I wasn't enamoured with this sock. It's not the pattern, per se. It's more that my stitch count is such that the pattern repeats aren't working out the 100% best and I don't think the pattern is coming through the way I want it to. It's working, but it's not working like the socks in the pattern photo and that's making me love them less. Ordinarily I might not care, but this yarn is special to me and I want to be sure I absolutely adore the socks,
