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

Look what I bought at the market!

I thought it would be very fitting to have this little sock keychain attached to my purse for our summer travels. The little sock is not quite 5 cm long. It will make its first adventure this weekend to Maine, to take in the Good Karma Farm Crank-in!

June's Market Attendance and More

Part of our market display of June 14, 2014, and MrB cranking in the background!

This was our one and only market attendance in June. We consider 4 months to be in our Off-Season, June being the second consecutive month. It was pouring rain and not a really nice day at all. We were moved to a different location and I was worried about the outcome. It just goes to prove that our SOCKS sell by themselves, location does not matter at this point, which I am very happy to say. And we did have a very successful market today after all.

I came up with a creative way to show off some of our new Shortie-Tabbed socks also. Here is the photo.

For any of our Market goers, who follow my blog, we will be back to the market again on July 26th, 2014! Hope to see you then, so please stop by and say hello. We also look forward to seeing and chatting with tourists who wander down to Brewery Square to investigate. I know that is 6 weeks away, but we do have some of our own summer adventures to go on and to make some family visits also. We take full advantage of the flexibility that is offered to us in this off-season! But MrB will also be cranking outdoors on some sunny days to satisfy his love of sock-making!
