spotted on ravelry: the pattern to knit the sock pictured on the Wikipedia article for "sock"

"As seen on Wikipedia socks"<br>Photo: a handknit sock in lightweight cream colored yarn with a variety of vertical cables

Ravelry description: 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.

gotta love the Maine elections coming up where people are going to vote for King or Pingree in the gubernatorial thinking they're their parents (Senator and Congresswoman), or Baldacci in CD-2 thinking he's his brother (former governor)

to her credit, Hannah Pingree's yard signs say "HANNAH"

(i think Angus King III's might also say "ANGUS" but that's less helpful as the son of Angus King Sr. Perhaps he should print a run of signs that say "NOT MY DAD")

next issue of Citation Needed will be out tomorrow, and thank you to everyone who didn’t unsubscribe when i dropped off the face of the planet into a COVID hole! (the joys of being a solo writer)
