Quess where we will be tomorrow?
Hello, My name is Bonnie and I am the other 1/2 of the team of Socks Made On 88! Sock Made On 88 will be at the Truro Provincial Exhibition, tomorrow, Friday, August 25, 2017! We will in the Farm Equipment Museum Building. Not sure on the exact times yet but hoping to set up for 12 or thereafter noonish and be there until sometime into the evening. Blake or MrB (as he is known to the cranking world) will be set up demonstrating the art of sock making on a Circular Sock Machine! For any of you who were there last year, you may remember the demonstrations he was giving on going. This year we will be showing off our wares, and selling them too! That's my part of the team, I am the Operational Assistant :-)
And just to let you know in advance we only accept cash as payment. We sell regular sock pairs, ribbed sock pairs, short tabbies, Adult Hats, Baby Hats and Soap Sacks! Hope to see you there! Come by and chat!
