It usually does not take me this long to bounce back from a vacation. I still seem to be on slow-mode Cuba time for some reason. Even went to the market yesterday and things seemed slow there too. I think it may be the weather. If the sun appears soon then I think I will bet more zip to my step!
We had lots of socks on hand for the market, but did not sell many at all. It will be a good test to see if it was the inclement weather or just a sign that wool socks selling is not as popular this time of year. We took a break come May last year, but we were hoping to go longer this year. We will have to track our appearances and see if we need to end our two week intentions sooner or not. Mark one off the list, and try again in two weeks time and see the results. Here is a photo to symbolize our return from vacation. The item in the laundry basket is a Cuban mask. We buy one for each
time we go and now will have 4 of them on our Entrance Room wall.
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
