For the longest time I thought making socks was terribly complicated - not that I had ever read a sock pattern before. But since I've taken the plunge, it's become a favorite activity of mine. Comparatively fast to make; with the opportunity to switch techniques and wool quite often; small enough to carry around everywhere; something to do with my hand while I'm watching documentaries or waiting for a train or just tired after a long day. Also, the satisfaction of making something that I can then use all year round (woolen socks really make steel-toed boots more comfortable). I might even knit myself some cotton one next spring. Really, if you've always wondered, stop. Buy some knitting needles, a bit of yarn, and make your next socks. Your feet will thank you warmly ☺️
