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

Socks for MrB!
Every once in awhile MrB tries something new! He was trying a different type of heel here and he did come across a problem or two as did I when kitchenering this new pattern also. So the outcome of this pair is that MrB becomes the owner to put this pair into his own sock drawer. They would be what we call a SECOND, and we wear all the seconds ourselves or MrB unwinds them and starts over. I do like the colours and pattern of this pair and fortunately MrB liked it too, so I am glad he can now call them HIS! Moral of our story....when we try something new the rule is to aim to make a size men's 10 or a women's size 8 so that if they do not turn out just right, they go into one of our own sock drawers!

We get a 4 foot table and space to display our product and this seems to work out well for us! The rack can hold 50 pairs of socks or more! |
We get a space for MrB doing his demoing also. |
