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

Photos from the last 3 markets in January 2020 and Feb 8, 2020

Before each Market I try to do a photo with announcement of current market date. It was Socks Made On 88's birthday on January 3, 2020. Sock Made On 88 was born Jan. 3, 2012!

We had a market on January 25, 2020 and presented this new sock pair that we are trying out. Short Ribbed-top and accent solid colours. (Short-Ribs for short :-)

Here in Nova Scotia we have been having bouts of snow with storms. The snow was sticky to make a little snowman, our last market before Valentine's Day and also showing a new colourway, called Resting Place. This colourway actually reminds of an Icelandic pattern and coincidentally I watched a Hallmark movie about going to Iceland so the picture had lots of incentive from things around me this particular day.

Since December, for some odd reason or another I did not have access to this blog, so I am catching up as I was able to get on here this evening. Yahoo! Along with getting up to date, I had mentioned on our FB page that our schedule as been halted for a few weeks. We are presently waiting to get a medical procedure date letter in the mail...so not scheduling markets right now until we know how to work around that date when we get it. If you do not hear anything by Feb 26th we will have a pop-up market on Saturday, February 29th. But stay tuned and we will inform you with hopefully some advance notice. And both Blake and I apologize if this causes any inconvenience. You should be hearing from us soon!

It has been awhile since I have chatted and posted here, and I don't want to get carried away. Welcome to 2020 and most importantly Thank you to all our clients! We appreciate it dearly that you love our SOCKS! See you soon at the Halifax Brewery Market!
