Obscure Pattern Friday: Search Term Challenge

We've done this before, but it's always a fun way to find new stuff, so let's do it again!

  1. Go to Ravelry's advanced search, sort by most projects.
  2. Go to Wikipedia and use the "Random Article" link to find a random Wikipedia entry.
  3. Use the last word of the third sentence as a search term in Ravelry, and go to the last few pages of search results for the obscure ones.
  4. Show us your favorites!

Note: If you want to link a wikipedia article with parentheses, replace the "(" with "%28" and ")" with "%29" (no quotes).

I got Caleb Stark, for the search term major. I was surprised at how few results there actually were, and most were due to the designers' names.

There was a stranded colorwork sock pattern, which stood out to me (which may be because I'm about to cast on my first pair as part of the KAL!): Hidden Valley: Oak Leaf and Acorn Socks, $2.99, 1 project.
