Look, look at my new socks! I ordered this yarn as a special treat to myself for my birthday in April. MrB cranked them out yesterday and today I managed to kitchener up the toes to make them complete. The colours are bright and happening, and I had MrB make them a little shorter in the stockinette knowing that they will look awesome with my capris when I need to wear socks and running shoes. I will definitely be showing these off at the Good Karma Farm Crank-in. Now if anyone wants to know where I got this beautiful hand dyed yarn from, I did get permission from Lisa in Dover Vermont, to give her a shout-out! This yarn colourway is called, "Does this Rainbow make my Black Look Big" This is one colourway that you may find at Lisa's etsy shop found here:

This particular yarn, is 80% Superwash Merino 20% nylon, and feels so soft working with it and wearing it also! I can't wait to wear these socks and show them off to the my world!
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
