Tweaking things, and Treats too!

Well MrB has been busy back at cranking out socks for our next market, And I have been revamping and  tweaking the web-site, trying to fix our facebook page, coming up with some organizations ideas to improve upon some things for 2014.  Together MrB and I are working on getting a database spread sheet going.  MrB is the head honcho with this, as he is educating himself to set it up.  He does have the most patience of the two of us, for learning new tedious things!  No wonder he is so good at sitting behind the Erl for hours upon end!

MrB deserves a treat now again, and I bought him some yummy yarn to try for Christmas! Bag of colourful treats indeed!  Someday he will get around to cranking it into socks for himself.  I am anxious to see how the yarns knit up for him.   Now if I remember correctly, I got him some Lorna's Lace, some Zen Yarn Garden (Canadian)some Brown Sheep~ Wildfoote and some from yarn from Switzerland called, Lang Aktion.  It' all superwash yarn.  The Lorna's Lace is handpainted and the colours are very appealing with Mulberry, mint green, dark teal, taupe, dark taupe brown and some dark grey! Definitely very unique!  The Zen is also superwash but has some cashmere in it.  The colours are very rich red and burgandy!  The Wildfoote I choose reminds of deep Autumn colours.  The last one looks and feels like Opal and I hoping it cranks through the Erl like butter as well.  It is in shades of greens with a splash of medium blue thrown in for good measure, perhaps. I am betting that when MrB does get around to cranking these out for his socks, that he will pick the Zen to knit  first!

MsB can't go without treats either!  She was very fortunate to get 3 pairs of socks for Christmas too!  Even cooler when I get to pick out the exact colours I want and kitchener them too in advance.  The trouble is that I did them ages ago and actually forgot what colours I did pick.  And MrB the prankster he likes to be on occasion tried to claim he lost them or could not remember where he put them.  I was very happy to see them under the tree for me.  I picked soft mauve colours in one pair, candy floss colours in another pair and lime and grey in third pair.  They all will go great with clothes I have, so 2 pairs will definitely make a fashion debut to our market stints in January.  It is wonderful to continue to have an endless supply of socks in my sock drawer  to draw on to sport and show off!  Socks have become very important items in my wardrobe these days!  

Happy New Year to All ~ May you have a prosperous and happy year in 2014!

Best Wishes going your way from both of us~ MrB and MsB
