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 of Solid Colours
These are the latest socks that MrB has been working on yesterday and today. They present him challenges in splicing yarn and changing colours. I just love them! Great pair selection for a man! The hemmed tops can roll down a bit and you can see some blue and red, they would be awesome to wear with work boots or hiking boots. These two colours really accent each other and are also good for unisex wear but this particular pair just happens to be a men's size 10 and MrB is keeping them for himself! Practise, Practise Practise.......working towards perfected pairs. It is not as easy as one thinks it may be, the art of sock making on a CSM, but just ask MrB if he isn't having fun despite the odd day here and there of frustrations with the constant learning curve. MrB usually smiles at the end of his day! :-)
