One market down today and two more to go in May until we take a summer break and will reconvene market attendances again come Fall, in early September. This has truly been a very good experience and with every single market we do get more exposure. The Erl certainly grabs the attention of passerbys.
May Markets:
May 12, 2012 @Petpeswick Yacht Club, Musquodoboit Harbour 9am- 3pm
May 26, 2012 @Hillside Market 50 Ritcey Crescent, Cole Harbour 9am-1pm
If there is anyone local who follows my blog and is looking for sock purchases, we also have an ongoing facebook page to show you which colours and sizes are available at any given time. Just search: Socks Made On 88 or go to

or email us at:

Just because we are not doing markets in June, July, or August we will still have SOCKS available through those above mentioned contacts. I may even work on seeing about developing a web site soon and if that happens I will be right over here to annouce it.
We will be back doing markets again in September just in time for some early Christmas shopping.
September Markets:
Sept 8, 2012 @Cole Harbour Harvest Festival, Cole Harbour Place, Cole Harbour
Sept 15, 2012 @ Hillside Market, 50 Ritcey Crescent, Cole Harbour
We are also very much looking forward to attending a Crank-in in Maine in June! This is like sock-school ...so you will never know what new ideas MrB will bring home to inspire new sock creations.
I would like to thank everyone who has been reading my blog! I know that my blog enteries have surely slowed down in the last month. They are apt to slow down some more for summer but I will be here when ever I have something new to report or to update.
I think my sock work is done for today, and I am going to take the rest of the evening and just enjoy some of the weekend now. I hope you all have a pleasant weekend and I will be checking in again real soon!
To those of you, who are fellow crankers, Happy Cranking!
