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

A Taste of Spring
It was 17C before noon yesterday and it is 17 just after 9 am today! How incredible is that weather? I have made an peppermint herbal tea and I am going to sit out on the deck for the first time this spring, and stitch the toes together ( Kitchener) of the remaining socks I have to do to catch up to MrB. I have one mate and a pair yet to do. Then I should have a group photo to attach here later today! Now to go enjoy the morning air, the birds chirping, and the feel the sunshine beaming on me as I sip and sew! What a great early taste of spring! Enjoy your morning too!
