CHEERS!

Cheers to all of our "Socks Made On 88" customers and 
Cheers to all of you, who follow my blog!

THANK YOU!! 

Loving the Beach and What we do!

Not very often I come to my blog and not post a picture of a pair of socks.  Today is an exception, as we visited one of our favourite Beaches yesterday. It was a very beautiful sunshiny day, September 26, 2014 in our little part of the world. So I wanted to share one beach photo I took.  And although I did not need socks on, as I wore flip flops so that I could put my feet easily in the ocean. MrB, however, did have on a flashy pair of Good Karma socks. 

And today, yet another beautiful afternoon to come.  Plan to sit out in the backyard and sip some wine later, just because :-)  But I do plan to lift my glass and cheer all our wonderful customers.  We just surpassed our two year mark, attending the market we call "HOME".

We have enjoyed this journey to date and look forward to several more years of doing what MrB and I love to do.  The forecast for the remainder of 2014 and 2015 and beyond is a 100% chance of Cranking!

Kitchenering like Crazy!

I have been kitchenering non-stop!  Kitchenering as not working in the kitchen, but grafting sock toes shut.  I went away for a few days to attend my grandson's 1st Birthday.  I came back and MrB had gotten to his stock pile cranking agenda for the Christmas Season.  We are on the ball for the upcoming months. Hurray!

It's always nice too to say that we appreciate our repeat customers!
At our last market we had plenty of sales and the majority of those sales were our returning customers.  Thanks again and we are ever so happy that you are enjoying your "Socks Made On 88" sock pairs.  

Happy Fall to All ~ MsB

Blooming

Roses blooming at our house and Socks blooming too, just in time for our next Market Saturday, September 20, 2014. 

Thanks to our customers of the last market of Sept 6th.  We are now back to twice monthly attendances for September, and onward twice monthly now until the end of April!

Remember to check our website if you need to see the exact dates that we will be at The Historic Famers Market, before venturing out for your market needs.

It is now Sock Season and Christmas gift shopping will be coming up before you know it also. Our socks are sold by your shoe size so knowing your loved one's shoe size is advantageous when purchasing socks from 
Socks Made On 88 !

I'm like a little girl at Christmas waiting...

...when it comes to the anticipation of a yarn order to arrive from Cricket Cove! 

It is one of my favourite things to do within Sock Made On 88, to order the YARN!

I am really liking the new Opal Rain Forest 10 colourways, and can't wait to see them in person.  Then I will be chopping at the bit for MrB to crank some out so I can see them even better!

I am sure that I will not be disappointed, as Opal yarn is our main concentration, and I know our customers are very happy with the outcomes.  Let's see, which colourways tend to be the most popular this time around?

September is here!

Socks Made On 88 will be at the market tomorrow, Sept. 6, 2014.
September is here and we are back to twice monthly attendances.

We are very much looking forward to the fall and winter season of selling socks!  September 20th is the date for our second market stint of September.  Remember to check our website and click the Markets button for our schedule which is always current and up-to date.  Here are some sock pairs, 

we have added lately to our show and sell market display.  The display always has new sock pairs for each attendance.  

There will be shortie-tabbed socks available too!  We will run these in our display till Thanksgiving.  Thereafter, you will have to ask for them, but I will have some on-hand with me at the market tucked away if need be.

It's Back-to-School time and we are hoping that we will have an opportunity to talk to college students as they come to the market to check things out, especially if they are new-comers to Halifax.  Welcome!

The forecast says it is to be another glorious day tomorrow.  We have been lucky to have such nice weather the past few days.  It certainly does not stop MrB and I for wearing our socks so I hope you too find many chances to show off your Socks Made On 88 socks also. 

MrB wants to show off his Good Karma Socks!

Both of these pairs of socks, Good Karma Yarn was dyed by MrB and cranked by MrB for MrB.  They are very bright and happening for a dull winter's day we sometimes experience in Nova Scotia.
