Guess what, I have started another pair of socks 🧦🧶🤣
Netherton Tunnel, opened 1858, the last canal tunnel to be built, watched over by the ruin of Cobbs Engine House, which between c.1831 and 1928 pumped water from mines into the canal. #ukcanals #narrowboat #KeepCanalsAlive #FundBritainsWaterways
Finished my fourteen pair of socks knitted since November last year. Definitely getting the hang of it now 🧶 These socks were a great way of using up lots of odds and ends of yarn.
