Our CSM venture- Socks Made On 88

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

My "Comin' Ashore Boot Socks" I got for Christmas!

These are great to wear with leggings and high boots, or rubber boots. We make them as custom orders!

Here is a pic with my boot off, using my son's dog (Valley Bull Dog) Ozzy as a prop! Aren't they pretty? Both the sock and the dog :-)

Happy Birthday today, to Socks Made On 88!

More Colourful Adult Hats

Available at the our next market date of Sat. Jan 9, 2016!

We had a Green Christmas in Cole Harbour Nova Scotia

But today we are getting the white stuff falling... We are suppose to get 15cms, so let's see how much snow we actually do get today, Dec 27/15. I thought it was a good opportunity to capture my Christmas themed socks for this year too! And if we get enough snow today I will be able to show you my new Comin' Ashore Boot socks later in my new boots. Stay tuned or not! Edited to add: It is an or not! We did not get a lot of snow so the photo of the high thigh Comin'Ashore Boot Socks will wait til another time.
