Our CSM venture- Socks Made On 88

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

updates for today Jan 31/13

One Bright pair and one In-Between Pair !

Another Bright Tangerine pair. These look really cool. A perfect Unisex colouway as I can see MrB wanting a pair is these shades!

The updates for today are that the sneak peaks got finished and another pair joined them also.

Edited

Just wanted to let you know that I did edit my last post before this one to include the two ravelry groups that shows the two awesome Cowichan sweaters created by Granted Designs, being the CBC sweater and the Suzuki Sweater.

Tagged ready to roll, and sneak peaks!

MrB's latest accomplishments for our next market appearance. They are all tagged, ready to roll and some more on the way. Brigadier has not had his picture taken lately, here he has a string of two pair attached and more yet to come today. MrB has been cranking constantly trying to fullfill the list MsB (me) set up for him as a goal for our next market. If we /he gets ahead of the game the cranking will be caught up and MrB will not be so busy after this next market. Today's pictures show, Brights, Conservatives and sneak peaks.
The set of three conservatives are all very nice. The first one is a zebra-like stripe, the second is what I call a brick tweed, and the last one my most favourite reminds me of the old Canadian Cowichan sweaters. I loved those sweaters and they do seem to be making a come back. Have you see the new designed CBC Cowichan sweater and the Suzuki Cowichan sweater they are very impressive? You can see them over on the CBC ravelry group, We Love the CBC, and also at the rav group of Canadian Knitters eh? topic How does one recognise a Cdn sweater, if you are interested in taking a gander at them. And wouldn't these socks the last pair in the conservative group go awesome with them?
