Almost forgot to share... MrB's excitement before surgery!

At our last market stint, we had a lovely young girl approach us of doing a custom order of socks.  This was a unique proposition for MrB, as she is a colour technician for a local handpainting yarn company. MrB was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this yarn that includes cashmere! It knit very well on the CSM. Miss BP was very happy with the outcome of her somewhat created left-over principle of sock pairs.  I did get her permission to share the photo of the sock pairs here.  She dyed two of the three colours to use for these sock pairs.  The third colour is called, "puffin", and both myself and MrB very much enjoyed seeing that colour unfold as cranked! It was great to see the yarn, touch the yarn, and for MrB to crank the yarn!  When Miss BP picked up her socks, she LOVED 

them!  We are glad we can share them with you. And Thank you to Miss BP for giving Socks Made On 88 the opportunity to use the yummy yarn!

We have "Progress"

We have progress with the healing of MrB's hand.   I am sharing this picture to show one way MrB can occupy his time.  The picture of this puzzle is just amazing!  It reminds my family very much of my father as he used to collect antique tractors, and most of them were John Deere ones.  So this picture could easily be my dad and my two sons, or him and his two great-grandsons ( my nephew's sons) One of my sons loves this puzzle, and now that it has been completed we will save it for others in the family to do in the future.

This post reminds me of how things can become traditional, or how family members like to pass on things.  It makes me wonder, who in our blended family will want to carry on the tradition of cranking socks from #88?  We may never know, but too early to tell!
