2013 soon coming to an end!

Wow what a year this has been with Socks Made On 88!  We had a fabulous year with much cranking and much learning too.  It amazes me how our markets just seem to get better and better with some small minor adjustments here and there.  This was our 2nd Christmas in which we sold our socks at our regular home market.  We more than doubled our sales this year, and not quite tripled them for much success!!!  Not sure how many of our customers read the blog but I want to shout out a huge Thank you to ALL who were customers, repeating and new! You have made our markets all a success, and not just the Christmas Market! THANK YOU!!! There will be many happy feet out there getting Hugs from their Socks Made On 88 Socks!

There are also many blog readers who do not have an opportunity to purchase our socks.  But I too, want to thank you for reading my blog or following it.  It is truly amazing to see how many blog entries have been read since conception, January 3, 2012.  It is soon approaching 2 years Jan 3, 2014 and close to 8000 viewers!  I would have never imagined the blog would create that interest, so Thank you to you too!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and All the best to all of You in the New Year of 2014!  

I will be back blogging in 2014, so hope to connect in some fashion then, take care, Thanks again...MsB 

The "HAT"

This is showing one side, not yet rolled up!

Here is the same side now rolled up!  This is the way MrB debuted the hat at the market!

Here is the other side, inside out if you prefer to say it that way, not rolled up yet!

The second side rolled up, and it is like two different hats in one!  They are both great colours with great character too!

The Cat and the Hat, no.....

It is MrB and the Hat!  He made a hat from what we call our deranged yarn which is left overs of left overs from cranking our one of the kind sock pairs.  He wanted a hat that showed some colour and character and a hat he did create.
MrB wore the hat at the market not to advertise but to keep his head warm.  He could have sold it right off of his head though.  He had inquiries if he had made on the CSM.  Not sure if he will go in the direction to crank-out more, but it was very interesting to get the positive feedback. I do have a picture of the "hat" to share, but it is on my little substitute model,

and he does not give the hat as much justice as MrB does! Here is my old Little Buddy Doll wearing MrB's New Hat! Oh I must mention too that the hat is knit in a tube and is reversible.  Double layered means extra warmth also!
Perhaps I should go take a picture of the tube.  Good idea, that will be my next blog entry, see you then....bye for now MsB!
