Testing blog print size?

I tested the size of print in the last blog entry.  I made it larger.  I think I like it better!
If anyone would like to tell me if they too like it better then glad to hear your comments on that, Thank you.

Tidbit of Info, Size colour coding

I wanted to add this little tidbit of information for anyone is a newbie like we are, as we are learning as we go!  When you are making more than one pair of socks at time and especially when the sock has to pass another set of hands or your own set of hands more than once, you need a system!  MrB came up with the idea of having different coloured yarn strands on each pair of socks to mark the size.  For example we use red for Mens 10, yellow for womens 8, green for womens 7 and orange then for mens 9 or 11 not sure on that one!  Then once MrB gives them to me to kitchener and I have socks the same colourway I know which ones are which when doing his and hers, and also when I take them to hand wash them and once they are dried I know exactly what size they are, to attach our sock tags.  I  will leave the colour size yarn marker on them to go to market too and then if someone holds up a pair I will know what size it is without even seeing the tag!  So far so good, this system seems to be working for us.  So it may work for you too if you need a system like this!  We are very glad to share ideas with you.

PS
Have you noticed that I mainly  like to type in GREEN as our colours are centering around the Erl colours of  Green and Yellow ( Gold here as Yellow doesn't show up too good)  We have Yellow business cards and I underline our Name on our Sock tags with Yellow Highlighter! 


Denim match ups, Men's 10

This pair is calling out, to match up with Denium, rugged or not!
Remember:  Our Socks are Hugs for your feet!   No matter what task you are doing.

His and Hers....ready for Adventure! Set #1

These His and Hers pairs are definitely ready to go for some adventure!  And I think MrB has another set in the make too!
I will post this first pair now as Set #1 and then later another pair will show up as Set #2.
As much as I love the bright and funky colours, I too love some solids and the down- to- earthy ones too!  These would fit into the down-to earthy category!  Wouldn't you agree?
