Yes it is puzzling how this pair takes us down memory lane. Notice how I tried to find a puzzle in our collection that actually has a lane or road in the featured picture. These socks, from Socks Made On 88, are calling out MrB's name this time as he really likes these colours and stripes. Colours of blue, green, off white and burgundy, many colours that MrB keeps active in his manly wardwore. He made them a size 9 so he wouldn't keep them, but I think he likes them so much that a size 10 is not long on the horizon to be cranked- out soon for himself! These colours are soft and could easily be pictured on some gentleman with a walking stick heading out to investigate a small village perhaps in Scotland or England. I bet my dear ole Grandpa Tom who came here from Scotland, and who is no longer with us, would love this particular pair of socks too! I loved when he told me stories of Scotland that took himself down memory lane, as he was so proud of his heritage and the history he spoke of. It is so cool for me, to capture a vision or story in every pair of socks made in our little venture. I think too its makes my blog more personal too, as I am capturing the socks and little pieces of me also. It's all interwoven like the yarn that is used to make a pair of socks.... my blog too is interwoven to tell a two-fold story!

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
