Greetings from the land of thick socks

I'm first timer from Finland. I learned to knit in school, handicrafts are mandatory here. I cannot remember my first pair of socks but I'm quite sure they were ugly, blueish-grey DK weight yarn because we had no choice of yarns in school.
I started knitting actively a year ago. I realized handknitted socks don't have to be thick and fingering weight yarn exists, and after that I've knitted several pairs for myself.
