How to knit socks?

I was just curious how you would go about knitting a nice thick pair of toasties style socks as I wouldn't mind having a pair but I also need something to distract me from my chronic pain even more so since the hospital are taking so long to find the cause I'm ending up suffering even more and even a and e can't help me anymore. But Yeh some kind of guide on how to knit a pair of warm toastie socks and what wool to use etc in doing so would be appreciated. Not sure if I have the required wool or exact needs size or type handy as most my knitting. Stuff got put I don't know where since i got unwell but if I ask mum I'm sure she'll help me out fishing. What I need out. Anything to help me cope right now I say
