My Personal Pick!

My Personal Pick! There are so many colourways that have entered Socks Made On 88's sock world. I thought it be fun to have a personal pick, just like Chapters does by having a Heather's Pick. This is one of my most favourite colourways. It just happens to be one of the colours from the most recent selection of Rain Forest Series. And here is a tid-bit of information. From every ball of yarn sold from the Opal Rain Forest Series, one dollar goes towards the Rain Forest Association and Rescue. In 2015, Opal has donated over 147 000 EUR which is equal to 221 000 CDN dollars to the "Save the Rainforest" Association. On January 23, 2016 you will notice that I have identified all the sock pairs on our display rack with a green tab on our sock tags. We want to point out to you the socks that belong to the Rain Forest Series. We want you to know also that we are helping the environment, and you are also too, when you buy a pair of socks made from the Rain Forest Series. We will be back at the market on Jan. 23/16. Be sure to take a look for a tag with a green tab, they may just be the perfect pair that you are looking for to have for Hugs On Your Feet! Here is a picture of my personal pick. The colourway is called, Kalle!

Colour Your World of Feet

by adding some colourful, cozy socks to your wardrobe.  There is no doubt they will brighten a January day.  Socks Made On 88 will be at the Historic Farmers' Market this coming Saturday, January 9, 2016.  7am to 1pm.  Look for us by Boates Farm just before the 3 set of orange doors heading towards Kreative Knits in the Main Upper Courtyard.  And if you can't make it down this week, well then we will be back at the market again on Jan 23, 2016.  Hope to see you sometime soon.

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.

It was December 23, 2011 when that wooden box arrived to our house. The one, MrB was so anxious to open!  Yes it was our EG ~ CSM that we named Brigadier!  Wow, 4 years has gone by fast.  4 Christmases at the Historic Farmers' Market, and just 4 years of fun, and growth of Socks Made On 88. Happy 4th Birthday to Socks Made On 88 for January 3rd, 2016!
