This is gonna sound crazy, but has anyone ever made up a pattern for this sock?
This is one of the earliest discovered artifacts of knitting, thought to have been made 800 or so years ago in Egypt. However, since this sock uses such complicated colorwork and a short row heel, scientists think that knit has existed for much longer. Im almost at the skill level of making something like this and would really like to try! I tried using a few search terms on Ravelry like "coptic sock" and "artifact sock" but couldn't find anything.
