Busy as Beavers!
MrB and I have just been busy as beavers. A truly Canadian expression! MrB has been doing a lot of cranking of late to meet our new projected goals. These goals are so that we can go the market all summer but so that MrB will not knit as much during that time period also. As busy as MrB has been cranking out socks, I have been busy doing my tasks as well. What have those tasks been? Well they have been, printing out tags, kitchenering, washing and drying socks pairs, taking pictures, writing blog enteries, emails, networking, updating SMO88 facebook page, picking out colours for the next pairs to be knitted, tallying the size groups, market preps, and more! But let me mention that I love doing all these things. They are MY kinds of things to keep me busy, entertained and happy! The last few days have been busy, and MrB the busy beaver, MsB the busy beaver would like to share our most recent sock pairs with you. It was not planned that most of them seem to have pink, or red in them which makes them very appropriate for Valentine's Day upcoming, and our market close to the occasion too. There are a couple of others, a nice bright yellow/gold pair and another pair that could be classified as conservative or just In-between! This winds up our women's pairs for this round. MrB just gave Brigadier a bath, so they will both have the night off from knitting tonight. I think, the plan of action for tomorrow is to crank out three pair of men's pairs and then our goals will have been met. We have an full rack of socks for our show and sell for Saturday! And of course, all the pink and red pairs will be tackfully placed to make their debut and see which ones get snatched up first!
