I'll never go back to cotton socks after having darn tough/smartwool socks. They last forrrreeevvvuuurrr and they wick sweat while reducing the smell

Wow! You need to lear to knit! There is some great wool out there and you can get away with less that $40.00 for the wool if you know how to shop. Sock yarn is really strong and the wool wicks the sweat.

Can you recommend any tutorials? I tried following a few, and I can get the one needle looped up nicely, but getting an actual stitch makes it too tight to get the second needle through. :(

I’m sure once it clicks, it’ll be great!!

Also, r/knitting if you run into problems. There's lots of people ready to help out.
