This pattern is from Crochet Today. Kicked my butt for a while but I persevered and it came out great.

Cable Installation
As part of the installation of an offshore wind facility, a cable must be installed to bring the electricity to shore. A special cable laying ship is used. In this case, the method of installation is called jet plowing, where a high pressure stream of water is used to suspend sediments in a channel. The cable is laid into the trench of suspended sediment. The sediment settles in on top of the cable, thus burying it. The cable is brought to shore and connected to the grid.
You can learn more about the cable laying here: Observing Cable Laying and Particle Settlement During the Construction of the Block Island Wind Farm

This is my latest sock knitting project.
As I wasn't sure whether I'd have enough yarn left to get socks as long as I wanted, I decided to knit these from the toe up (or rather from the base of the toe - I'll go back and knit the toe (and the heel) later using the same contrast yarn I've used for the top).
The body of the sock is knitted in a 4x2 rib pattern with left-hand cable twists on the knitted stitches (crossing in front of the work every 4th round), worked on 4mm dpns. The sole of the foot (visible in this picture) is worked in stocking stitch, to make it more comfortable to wear (amd a bit quicker to knit, although that's an incidental bonus).
The top is worked in 1x1 rib, using 3.5mm dpns to compensate for the slightly thicker yarn.
In the picture you can see the scrap yarn used for the provisional cast-on, which is about to be removed so that the toe can be knitted. Also visible is the scrap yarn used to mark the place where the heel will go. The heel will follow the same pattern of decreases as the toe, and is of the type known variously as an afterthought heel or a peasant heel.
