A fellow cranker could not wait to show off her new flower invention at the GKF crank-in this past weekend. MrB was anxious to learn from her. These little flowers will be an added feature to some of our baby hats. They are so cute! Some people add buttons in the center also.
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
