March coming in as a Lion or Lamb?

Is March coming in as a lion or a lamb is a very good question for here, as I am just not sure yet.  We were to get a storm with lots of snow, but have not got any yet.  That does not deter the longing for spring though, and does not put a cease to cranking!  MrB has been ribbing up a storm lately!  This sock pair made especially for MrB himself sports nice spring colours and some wonderful Ribbing with e-wrap selvedge tops. These socks are of sport weight yarn done on the 60 cylinder.  He will give them a whirl, as they will be bright hugs on his feet!  So it doesn't matter if March comes in as a LION or a LAMB, Spring will be here soon enough.  When it arrives MrB will be wearing some socks with  some colourful wow factor!

Paper Bag Princess no actually I am the putter Queen!

I just love to putter, I could be the putter Queen and today I have been puttering with SMO88 most of the morning.  I needed to stamp some more paper bags.  We use paper bags for our socks at the market when someone needs a bag, as most regular market goers carry their own reusuable carry- along bag! A couple of pictures to share of what I stamp on the paper bags.  I wanted something simple but unique and came up with these using my scrapbooking/card making stamps.  A Yarn ball and the words, Thank you!

SMO88 made a donation to auction in honour of 5 young men lost at sea!

Sometimes the act of making a donation, warms the heart on your end just as much as the other party receiving it!  Socks Made On 88 is very happy to have made a contribution for an auction for the families of 5 young men who recently lost their lives, Lost at Sea!  We donated two pair of socks, which seems like a small gift, but in circumstances like these, something is certainly better than not giving anything at all in my books!  Here is the link if anyone is interesting in checking it out, bidding on any items or also contributing!

It is very nice to see that people in this day and age are still very generous for a cause!
