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
Socks Made On 88
Wednesday, 11 January 2012
Sock-school went overtime Tuesday
MrB spent many hours cranking yesterday! He was determined to do a certain amount of tasks which he all accomplished. He made a pair of socks. Hurray! They were a little wide but that is part of the learning curve and on the next attempt I am sure they will be more to his perfection. After supper we took on a lesson together and worked at for another few hours. Thanks to MrB, I did not throw my sock across the room, and by the end of his long day I think I did become successful in what I wanted to learn in the end, as he mastered it and could show me what I was doing wrong. You gotta love him, the patience he has for the machine and for me too after 10 hours of continuous studying. Ending on a positive note, we wrapped up the evening by unwinding in front of the TV. The picture above is of MrB's first made pair of socks....they are not to perfection yet but are somewhat a glimpse of what's to come........I love the colours...good colour scheme to wear with jeans either for gals or guys!
