MrB finally got my yarn cranked out that I dyed at Good Karma in June. I think he thought since its 100% wool I didn't need the socks till now. I am very happy with the colour they turned out to be. Good timing too as I just blew heels out of two pairs this week. Jim said they should last a year and they have been a year and half for lots of wear, so they did good by me. MrB tried his hand at darning one pair for me so I will have to see how that stands up. That pair has not been completely lost. I wore my new Good Karma's yesterday and they always feel so good on the feet! MrB loves his Good Karma socks as well. They are soon becoming our winter favourites.
These look like they will serve me well while out camping in the summer. Heavy for some warmth but light coloured to welcome the spring and summer colours of my wardrobe. I match what I wear to my socks!
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
