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
Sunday, 17 May 2015
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!
