...the only thing is that our socks are Happy colours!
We will be at the Historic Farmers' Market this coming Saturday, Christmas Eve Day, December 24, 2016 7am to 1pm! We would love to see all those last minute shoppers out and about!
I would also like to take this opportunity to Thank all of our customers New and Repeaters for your much patronage throughout this year! Merry Christmas to All! We look forward in seeing you again next year also, and meeting many new sock buyers! Happy New Year Everyone, and all the best to you in 2017!
After Dec 24, 2016 we will be back.....January 7th, 2017! 8am t0 1pm (Winter Hours) I will keep you posted as always :-)
Well folks I am here to tell you that with -17C temperature in NS Canada, and in a building that did not have heat, Brigadier 88 fought back to crank yesterday! He was just too COLD! Brigadier will be 6 years old on December 23rd, and this was the very first time he and MrB were having major problems knitting/cranking! MrB took careful care in not packing him into the trunk until it was time to leave, but the 1/2 hour trek was enough to put him into a non-knitting mood! He was dropping stitches left, right, and centre, and it was not the experienced knitter operating his crank. It was the COLD! He did finally warm up near the end of the day to create a pair of socks! Good thing though is that the passerbys did not notice the havoc they were having ..... they still saw the machine in motion. Now MrB is search of some winter oil!!!
Socks Made On 88's market schedule for attendances into the New Year 2017 and beyond has begun to unfold! See our dates from January 2017 to the end of June 2017 for your convenience. Thanks and remember that they will start at 8 am instead of 7am for the months of Jan, Feb, and March, commencing January 7th :-)
Our last market was November 19th! It was nice to coast this last week, especially having company from Montreal and enjoying some early Christmas gift giving, and entertaining.
MrB says it's always so nice to see someone open a package and receive socks and have an expression of joy on their face. Yes, you got it, people can get excited even if they receive socks as a gift. Even better that the socks were made by us! She will be sporting, and showing off her sock pairs to her many Montreal friends with envy. And we will be cherishing the hugs we got in return.
Also the son, who already has many sock pairs, still gets to add to his collection of many. His drawer must be getting mightly full. I wonder how he sorts them? Do you think he sorts them by colour or style? My bet is that they just exist no sorting at all! But we know he loves them all, and that is all that matters.
Socks Made On 88 will be at the market tomorrow! Come buy some sock pairs, and you too can give some joy to a special someone by giving them some Hugs for their feet for Christmas!
And if you can not be present at tomorrow's market, we will be there again on Dec 17th and Dec 24th also!
