...you may want to have on your wool socks today! Yes May 15th and we still need a wood fire occasionally, and that is why Nova Scotia is a great place to have your drawer full of wool socks, just like MrB and I do! :-) Do you?
It's cool and damp, and we needed to put on a fire this morning to take off the chill in the house today. These are three of our latest cranked sock pairs, all featuring Opal yarn, which is one of our favourite yarns to use. MrB just loves Opal yarn!
But I must put in a plug for the Shelridge Yarn today too. I kitchenered a pair socks from that yarn this morning while sitting by the fire. They feel so good on the hands while grafting the toes, I can only imagine how they feel on your feet! Oh, I don't have to imagine, I know, because I have a pair. Shelridge Yarn is also a favourite yarn of MrB's and is probably a close 2nd or 3rd to the Opal yarn we use mostly in production.
MsB from 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
