Although I am still fairly new at Kitchenering I feel that I have had enough practise put a system in use. In the evening after MrB has had a successful day cranking out socks, there is usually a sting of socks waiting for me to get at after supper. It's later in the day, I have a portable light that I take with me to the lazy-boy chair and settle in, get comfortable, have my little tin of needles and small pair of scissors. One thing missing? I have discovered to put a piece of magnet on my tin, and then when I have to cut or put my hands into the sock, I can set my needle on the magnet on my tin. MrB said why dontI use my pincushion but one thing I think it would fall off the arm of the arm and the other thing is that some of the needles I use to pull off the waste yarn and big and dull. I have found in the last couple of days, the magnet has definitely improved my system and has now become a must when I sit down to do my kitchenering!

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
