Much better now

Remember the socks I showed you a few weeks ago that I was knitting for my Dad?  Well if the truth be known, I hated them.  I ripped what I showed you in that post, and cast on with a smaller needle.  Still hated them.  Truthfully, I hated knitting with the Zauberball yarn (Ravelry link).  Hated it!!!!!  (Have I used the word "hate" enough yet?)  I trolled around Ravelry a bit, and it seems  that the majority of knitters are using this yarn for small shawls, very few socks being knit with it.  So I frogged a second time, and annoyingly put the yarn, the yarn that I hated, back in my stash.  I found some other male appropriate yarn in the depths of my stash, some Opal Prisma (Ravelry link) won in a contest a few years back from a now defunct company.  I'm much happier now and am well on the way to finishing another Christmas gift.  Phew.

What was it about the zauberball that you hated so much? I love the look of it, but don't want to hate a yarn!

It actually reminded me a lot of noro yarn. Seemed to be a single ply, not a lot of drapeor hand to it. Just kind of sat there once it was knit, not sqooshy or anything. And doesnt stand up well to frogging either!
