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
Irwin has been with my family since 1984, and I chose him to help me out with a couple of photos today. Doesn't he look cute? Notice his hat!
Blake has been busy cranking out our Baby Hats in 4 different sizes,to increase our inventory for the fall/winter season. Mind you, we do sell them all year round! We have developed baby hats in sizes small, medium, large and extra-large. This sizing method has proven to work very well for us. Here is a an aray of several colourways to fit that baby boy, girl or unisex need. When you stop by to get that gift for your special baby, MsB will assist you in making your choice an easy one. We will be at the Historic Farmers' Market, Brewery Square, on November 14, 2015 (7am-1pm) .
Thanks to all our Socks Made On 88 customers today! The cruise-goers are always a nice perk when you stop in at Brewery Square. As a couple told me today its a brisk morning, but it did get sunny for the afternoon. Those brisk mornings bring us hat and sock people who need just a little bit more extra warmth! And we thank you!
I want to give a special shout-out too to special customers of ours, Mike and Heather! We are so glad that you both really enjoy our socks and we thank you both very much for your many visits. Maybe by chance you will actually read this blog post.
