Well. After frogging my knitted socks about 14 times, I figured maybe I set my sights a little too high with those pointy needles and a sock pattern that is geared for experienced knitters.
So, I downsized my expectations and started an easier knitting project.

So ---> stop comparing it to crochet!
And just enjoy this for what it is:
a relaxing, soothing way to create cloth with just yarn & needles.
