Another OOAK :-)

Another One of a Kind :-) These are a women's size 7! They won't fit me, but how about you?

We have another pair very similiar to these shown above also.  They are a Women's size 9. I did not take a picture of them but they will be added to the inventory of pictures of available sock pairs on our website.

No Socks but Sweets instead!

Today I am not doing much socks stuff!
But what I am doing is making these, and some sugar cookies too.
You are probably wondering, wow, she (MsB) never posts much 
things other than sock updates.  Well it is quickly approaching the festive time of year and I am not only MsB of Socks Made On 88, but I am also someone who does other things as well.  Today I am baking!  These are traditional treats of MrB's family at Christmastime.
They are called Mocha Cakes, and I am not such why....they should be called Almond Balls in my opinion but who am I to ague with family history.  I am also making sugar cookies that is from my family tradition.  I already made 6 dozen but need more.  The others are for family members in their Christmas packages.  

Now speaking of cookies and putting them in Christmas Gift packages, I bet you can guess what else is in those parcels too?  I dont have to give you many clues, do I?  This act of giving will continue also as a tradition I am sure, as the years go on....  This act was very much a staple in MrB's family gift giving from his mother,  and that act of having wool socks and getting them Christmas will now do a full circle!  What better gifts to get in my opinion are the homemade ones, socks and cookies, where can you go wrong?

So I am sitting here thinking, and I can recollect that I never as a child got wool socks for Christmas, ever!  I wonder why that was because I certainly did live in a climate, in Western Canada where I could have used them.  You don't want to know how many times I froze my toes out in -30 degrees celius weather outdoors skating on the ice covered dug outs, then come indoors and unflaw my feet over the heat register.  Perhaps having wool socks would have helped, perhaps they would not have, regardless I still would have gone and we will never know for sure now.  This MsB will not be skating any time again soon!

So I have taken a break from baking,and now I have to get back at it doing a batch of sugar cookies, and I promise that I will do some work on Socks Made On 88 too, as I mentioned before I do have to tag the socks that posted pictures of earlier. MrB did some cranking earlier so you know what that means?

OH OH OOAK!!!

These are our most recent One Of A Kinds!
I know you might get tired of me saying I love them!
But I do LOVE them so much!  OOAK's have to be my MOST favourites!  MrB says MsB you say you like all the socks!!! 
And I say, Yes that is true, but I can honestly say there are a few that I do not like.  So to MrB I did disclose the ones I do not like.  But guess what?  I will not be telling you Hahaha!  But I promise if he makes a pair in the future I do not like, I will tell you :-)  Now of these two pair shown above can I tell you which one is my favourite and that is the pair, sitting to the right, and that is only because I am not a pale pink fan.  There is something about the cuff on the other ones that dont do it for me, but then again if someone gave them to me I would wear them but the other pair would definitely be higher on my list if I had the choice to choose one over the other! OOAK's are ultimately MsB's favourite in general!  They are not for everyone but they are certainly proving to be great sellers for a lot of our customers, and that is why we continue to make them.  They are a little bit more work for MrB to do, but we feel good having them being semi eco-friendly also!  And how can you not feel good putting on a bright bouncy pair of socks like the ones showen here!  I would be Tigger wearing them, and some days it doesn't take much for me!  Our Socks are Hugs for your feet, so if they make you Smile and Bounce too, that is superb!

Socks for Show and Sell!

MrB has been cranking away....we needed some more socks for the Show we are doing this upcoming Saturday and also for another show in December and a market just before Christmas.  We need to add to our Women's size 9 collection.  So here are two recently completed that will be tagged today ready for Saturday... Show and Sell..that will be the name of the game!  I like those words instead of Show and Tell, it will be Show and Sell for us!
