They say pictures say a thousand words! So here are my 6 thousand words for this morning! LOL
I have posted a picture of our actual CSM, Brigadier 88. I have also added a photo of our ball winder and of the swift that Blake made. And lower down the blog page you will see 3 other pictures also. I have add a photo of our ribber, the fork weights which assist in making heels, and soft weights which are used and put in a cast on bonnet. A picture of a cast on bonnet will come later. Blake will capture a pic when he is back at sock-school and starting yet another practise sock. As he cranks out the practise socks we inspect them and use them for tasks and then they become unravelled and the progress goes over and over until Blake wants to move forward to produce a pair of socks. That project is just on the horizon........
MrB is the cranker in this venture. He creates hand-cranked knitted wool socks made on our Circular Sock Machine, we call Brigadier 88! It is the #88th Erlbacher Gearhart Knitting Machine newly made. Me, MsB is the cranky assistant (not) :-) that runs the business side of things,networking,doing the sock tags,yarn ordering,kitchener stitching and more. MrB is studious,and is constantly cranking out new pairs of SOCKS Made on 88! Our story and my blog unfolds here... it all began Jan.3, 2012
