spotted on ravelry: the pattern to knit the sock pictured on the Wikipedia article for "sock"
As seen on Wikipedia socks pattern by Amy E-W
From December of 2010 to the time of writing, the key photo on the Wikipedia ‘sock’ page has been a hand knitted sock. If you’ve ever looked at that picture and thought, “I wish I had those socks!”, then this is the pattern for you! This is a cuff down traveling stitch cable sock pattern, with a standard heel flap construction and charted design. The pattern includes instructions for four sizes, both with and without calf shaping. The sock shown on Wikipedia is the medium size with no calf shaping.

@molly0xfff idk the first thing about #knitting or #crochet, but the people who do these crafts seem very fun-spirited. So, I share this reminder that the U.S. National Park Service has patterns for a goat, a cactus, fish, triops, a beaver, and more. https://www.nps.gov/search/?query=Crochet&sitelimit=&affiliate=nps

@molly0xfff This is hilarious, and I am definitely at least partially the target audience (would be 100% if they were crocheted socks lol). I did get some knitting needles a couple months back but haven't given it a go yet

@aleciabatson @molly0xfff Crochet is super fun and surprisingly easy to get started. Highly recommend the activity! All you need to learn is the single stitch, plus how to go in the round (look up "magic circle" and you'll be off to the races), and you'll be crocheting plushy cacti in no time!
Knitting on the other hand? No idea. Too intimidated to try lol

@aleciabatson @molly0xfff Crochet a halibut! https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/halibut-crochet-pattern.htm
@jgrg @molly0xfff I feel like this pattern has promise for #cat owners. Include a pocket or pouch in the belly or gills where one could place cat treats or catnip.

@jgrg @aleciabatson @molly0xfff Their lava column pattern makes a great cactus! (I improvised the flowers.)

@molly0xfff I love Ravelry!

@aleciabatson @molly0xfff Woah, I've never felt such power to mold minds! I'll try not to let it consume me
In all seriousness though, I hope you enjoy it! It's a pleasant diversion. If you're anything like me and prefer improvising over following a recipe, then you'll appreciate how intuitive it is once you get the basics down to just play it by ear and make what you see in your head.

Nice sock. Interesting cables. Kudos to the person who deconstructed the pattern.@EugestShirley @molly0xfff Maybe the Wikipedia sock was knitted from the pattern? Perhaps the pattern has been published elsewhere besides Ravelry?

@EugestShirley @molly0xfff I would even go so far as to suspect that the Wikipedia person who uploaded the sock photo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Loggie, and the Amy E-W of Ravelry, are the same person. Their writing has a certain vibe.
