I have come here today to tell all that MrB has reached a goal to celebrate! Since our name is Socks Made On 88, after Brigadier 88's serial #, I am happy to say that MrB is now working on his completion of 88 pairs of socks. It just sort of happened by accident that this 88th pair of socks has been planned for a gift for a special occasion for a family member so that is even better yet as we will always remember who has the 88th pair of socks! This was not planned and purely happened by accident as MrB had been cranking away while I was trekking off to Alberta. I am finally getting back to my sock duties and catching up on a few tasks and just noticed this monumental pair as writing it in the book that I keep track in of all the socks been made. I must attach a little note to that special pair of socks and tell the new owner that they have a little story that goes along with their creation. The pair is not quite completed but will be in the next couple of days. They are still sitting on the machine, and then I, msb will have to graft the toes by doing my handy dandy kitchener magic! I will be back to give the date of all cranked, kitcherner, washed, dried, and ready for tagging and wrapping! :-)
