I’ve been knitting for a decade but only made my first pair of socks during the pandemic. I bought some wool from a reputable seller in fun colors. It was so fun and they were so comfy, I made several more.

I almost never wear anything other than my knitted socks these days. They’re just so daggone comfy and they keep my feet warm yet they never feel sweaty, except on extremely hot days when I’m outdoors.

Wool socks are absolutely luxurious to me now. 10/10 recommend knitting socks if you haven’t already!

Even if the device was just a glorified portable dialysis machine though, that would still be a significant quality of life improvement for those on dialysis. With dialysis you’re locally tethered to the dialysis clinic because you need weekly treatments, until you eventually die or win the kidney lottery.

Be kind to your kidneys everyone, drink enough water! You don’t want a life without efficient kidneys.
