Our CSM venture- Socks Made On 88

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

Hand- painted Yarn I did at Good Karma Farm

Here are some pictures of the yarn I hand painted at the Good Karma Farm Crank-in.
I did 4 skeins. I will call these the before pictures and the after pictures will be the socks completed. I have ideas of naming my created colours and the first ones, MrB cranked out last night. I will have to kitchener them today in which I think I will get my stuff and go out to the deck this morning and do that as the sun is shining. So here are the 4 names I have pondered upon:
1. Sightseeing
2. Suncatching
3. Sailors Delight
4. Seas and Sand

I have picked these names by just looking at the yarn wound up in ball. I think the names will suffice also once knitted. It is really hard to tell what the socks and pattern of the hand painted yarn will actually look like. Here is a preview of all 4 skeins wound into balls ready for cranking/knitting!
