The other day MrB called me the "Kitchener Queen", and I do not think that I rate that status yet, but that perhaps I am working towards the status of Princess! LOL
This did, though urge me to tally up approximately how many pairs of socks that I have kitchenered to date. I say approximately as in the early stages of recording it was not completely accurate, as we were not selling socks, but giving them away to family and keeping them for ourselves first to test them out.
Since MrB first started practicing after receiving the CSM just before Christmas 2011 and now, my calculations are that I have kitchenered 714 pairs of socks times two = 1428 socks + 1 single sock for a replacement that a dog chewed gives a total of 1429 socks. That is sweet to know as I really did not have any idea of what the total would be.
We sell our socks on a small scale at a market mainly for our enjoyment and to have a project ongoing to keep us occupied and fulfilled doing something we both love to do!
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
