we have already evolved to a new system. Now that MrB is cranking out more socks and therefore there are more socks to be washed and dried too.We needed a system for this and for that and just makes the flow of progress evolve in more simplistic ways. I was so proud of myself designing our very own sock wraps. Then we come to find out with even after taking the socks out of the paper wraps a few times, they were beginning to rip. So back to the drawing board, and to put on our thinking caps! We didn't want to attach a business card and another card or paper giving the washing instructions, what they are made of etc as that would be too bulky and waste too much paper! MrB is very GREEN conscience and so we came up with a combo tag of business information, washing and drying instructions, and made of! Thanks to JrS for his techie help getting a template set up and running last night for me. This morning I ran off some of tags and attached to the socks that are raring to go off to a Spring Market! Here are socks and tags all lined up! I do like the look of the tags we have now created compared to the wraps. This was a positive decision made for the betterment of us and our future sock buying customers. The socks will be easily accessible to look at see the size, feel them and read all the information on the tag with a good glance. We also came up with a colour coding system for sizes so that when I hand wash them the first time and lay them flat to dry we know exactly what colour matches what size when we later need to attach the sock tags! For example a Women's size 8 will always have a yellow piece of yarn on each sock!
MrB usually takes the weekend off , Saturday and Sunday, but the bug must have bitten him bad, as I think he worked some of both days on the business and in sock making! :-) I think it is time that I need to throw out some more kudos to him, as he is doing a wonderful job! I have two pairs of socks waiting for me to be kitchenered, and he has already cranked out another sock for another pair he is working on today. I love seeing all the patterns and striping effects take place as he cranks out socks to make a string before they are taken off the cylinder and completed. Each pair of socks has its own individual character and charm! And as I have mentioned before, I just LOVE them all!
