Just had a look tthrough my Ravelry projects for Science, and it's quite interesting to see it change over time. Looks like right at the start I focused on a lot of accessories, especially cowls because I was playing with designing stuff of my own and it's easy to design what is essentially just a rectangle. If I'd answered this question off the top of my head I've have said that.

But it turns out in my last three rows of projects, excluding the crochet ones, 73% of them were socks. So I guess that's the actual real answer these days lol.

As for you not liking knit socks, OP, just been talking about this in a thread on the other knitting community actually. My first ever ones were in what turned out (now that I've used nicer stuff and can compare) to be in quite horrible itchy yarn so I hated them. My next ones were made from very fancy custom blended yarn with silk in it and they felt amazing. So it could be something as simple as that. I also find socks knitted with a gusset and heel flap fit my feet much better than, say, an afterthought heel (which I also did on those first socks, they were cursed lol).

Of course you might actually just hate knitted socks, which is fine. But there's so much variation it's hard to rule the whole genre out in one go 😄
