wear socks in sandals! We hear it's a now and up and coming fashionista statement around the world!
I read that the Brits don't have to feel bad as others are joining them :-) and there has always been the odd person who wore them but were somewhat frowned upon.
I must admit I have it done it on many occasion also. It could have been out of laziness or the fact I do not really care, but now I will be in fashion!
MrB and I took a brief photo session this morning to show you OUR socks in OUR sandals, but we would very much like to see OUR socks in YOUR sandals!
So this is also a reminder also that we will be at the Historic Farmers' Market on June 13, 2015, 7am -1pm.
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

It is that time of year for us...
Where we start to think about stock pile knitting/cranking for the Christmas season. We did this last year but I am more organized for this year, and have learned from some of the mistakes , to make this process run smoother this year within our little operation between MrB and myself. Here is a photo of some of the Mens stock pile colours that are to be made. I am loving the new colours in the Gallery and Best Friends series. Plus I always stash some of the older colourways away and bring them out again. You may notice the odd one here! And this too is why we like a little break from the markets May to August so that we can organize, focus and get extra cranking done (especially on rainy days) for the busiest sales time of year! Sunny days we like to be flexible and enjoy them. Yesterday was sunny and today you guessed it, it was rainy!
Ribbed Deranged Pairs for Himself ( MrB)
He wants bright and funky for summer, and he got them! Actually he made them and cranked them out for himself.
For the guy who only wore light grey socks upon receiving our CSM December 23, 2011. How times have changed!

Garden Glory
How about the most awesome Gift idea of using one of our soap sacks/gift bags and filling it with Flower or Vegetable Seed packets and giving it to a friend for some Garden Glory!
Spring Surgent!
Spring surgent of colours, yellow, blue, mauve, pink and more! Our short-tabbies are colourful and comfy for spring and summer wear! I have a few pairs and I bet you want some too!!
Orchid Orgy
The "Beaches" Orchid colourway is perfect colouring matching our household orchids! Wouldn't you agree?
