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

Near the Lamp Post!
This coming Saturday we will be in the Upper Main Courtyard, look for us near the lamp post between Highland Farm and The Biscuit Cutter. This is where our display will be located this market stint! If all else fails, just turn around and look for our bright neon yellow and green sign, as we are on the other side of the court as we have been in several weeks, or months.

November 14, 2015 Market
Ok Remembrance Day is over, today is Friday the 13th, and tomorrow we will be at the market! Officially now I feel comfortable talking about shopping for Christmas. For our market stint tomorrow we will have with us all our extra stock which includes LO's, Deranged, Regular Hung-Hemmed, Ribbed, Short Tabbies, Baby Hats, Adult Hats and Soap Sacks! And 3 more shopping dates after tomorrow, for us, which will be:
November 28th
December 5th and
December 19th!
I do not know where our display location is, yet for tomorrow. My best guess is to search both the Upper Main courtyard and the Lower Courtyard if you are looking for US, Socks Made On 88!!
I will post an update of exact location later today or this evening when I know, so if you are interested, please check back here to the blog, our website or Facebook page for that information.

So Happy with my Good Karma Dyeing from June/15
Every year we go to the Good Karma Farm crank-in. And every year I go there to do some dyeing for my own personal use. I am so happy how my colours turned out, as Blake just cranked out my socks for me! I am so happy I will have 4 more pairs of socks to wear this winter once I get them kitchenered! Now I can't wait to go back again next June!

November 14th/15 ~ Left-Overs and Deranged will be ready!
Left-Overs and Deranged Sock Pairs will be on hand for our market stint on November 14, 2015 and on through to December 19th, which includes 4 market visits to The Historic Farmers' Market. Those dates will be : November 14, November 28, December 5, and December 19th.
We will also have extra stock of our very popular Regular Hung-Hemmed sock pairs. And if you are still looking for other different kinds of socks pairs, we have available also Ribbed sock pairs and our short-tabbies also. And if Socks are not your game, Hats are for sale also. We sell Adult Hats and Baby Hats! And last but not least we also sell soap-sacks and they too are great for little gift bags.
Although we maintain our display rack mostly with brightly coloured sock pairs, we do sell some conservative plain sock pairs too! They are made from Canadian Superwash Yarn that is 85% wool and 15% nylon, from Shelridge Farm in Ontario. We offer those in two very satisfying colours, of Opal Blue and Cajun Spice.
See you back at my blog next week. Till then take care and if you are an owner of our socks, make sure you continue to enjoy Our Hugs for Your Feet!
