Final Tally for Socktober Pairs of socks completed = 1 Pairs of socks started for pao but abandoned = 3.2 Pairs of socks completed for pao = 0.6 Well, I just managed to delete the photos of the wounded sock without actually transferring them onto my computer but thankfully (kind of) they are yet to [...]
Not much posting has been going on round here this week as I’m desperately trying to finish the second of pao’s Trekking socks for the end of Socktober! My camera has conspired against me tonight by running out of battery so I can’t post a photo of Sock 1 and the embarassment of the Sock [...]
