I did knit one successful pair north of a dozen years ago and my oldest child still wears them. I had a failed pair after that that promptly sprouted holes in the toes. I don't remember why.
Said oldest child convinced me to try again, as they've become an avid sock knitter themselves.
I am seriously in the first round of the ribbing and ready to run away from home. I know it gets drastically better after the first few rounds so I'll keep going, however slowly.
Once there's enough to show I'll get a picture. The yarn is gorgeous.
