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
Socks Made On 88

New Fall and Beyond Colours for us!
Three colours from the new Rainforest Xl collection and one colourway from the Classics collection. They include Helge The Detective, Anton The Inspector and Tessa The Snooper, as well as Exclusive! They will all make beautiful Socks Made On 88 sock pairs once cranked out by Blake (MrB).
Also, look in the next month or two, for some more new colours to be released and added to our yarn stock from the Music Festivial collection. We have already pre-ordered 4 of them from that series to arrive at a later date.
We do not order every single colourway of every collection. I only order the colours that I guess will sell easily as not all colourways suit our customer's desires!
So far I am liking these 4 colourways and will be anxious to see how they look knit into socks!

Home Sweet Home! Laundry time!
Home Sweet Home! Our vacation trip to Alberta was awesome! This is a picture upon our return, the beginnings of getting back into sock-mode. Our clothes line looks colourful today. We did a lot of tramping around wearing running shoes so our socks made a good pairing for touring and our activities also. Speaking of sock-mode, see you at the market this coming Saturday, August 22nd. We are very much looking forward to see the new format of the market and be a part of it. I will post again later in the week when I know of our exact display location for Saturday.
