Sock Challenge: Ongoing Struggle to Master the Sock Knit

So I've tried a couple patterns for socks and even a sock loom and so far all have been frogged. I'm a tight knitter and these projects typically call for size 1 or 2 needles and wow it's hard to see the stitches. But I'm determined to figure this out. So I bought the book Sock Knitting: Master Class hoping it will do just that.

I found a forum on Ravelry doing a KAL (Knit Along) on this same pattern. I also found another blogger working through same book that did this in 2011 so should be well experienced by now.

And I've already posted a reply on her second post about this project begging for help.
