They said it couldn't be done.

Socks are usually made by knitting, either by hand or machine. Fabrics
woven on a loom do not have the ability to stretch enough to get the
foot in and then tighten up above the ankle. I enjoy weaving our home
grown wool but have no interest in or patience for knitting. Marilyn
knits but it takes her months to make a pair of socks.
