although it seems to be going by, way too fast! August, is rapidly approaching, and we will have two market stints for that month. See you August 13th and August 27th, 2016. 7am-1pm at Historic Farmers' Market, Brewery Square, 1496 Lower Water St. Halifax, NS. :-)
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

Recall me speaking of the Orange Doors to help you find our display location at the market...well
the doors are still there! But they are not Orange anymore!
They are now CHOCOLATE BROWN ( sorry I do not have that colour option for print :-) But this how they used to look. The sign that reads, " Bottling Plant" above them still exists. If you are trying to locate us for our next market stint, which is July 23rd, please look for the same location except different coloured doors. If I remember I will try to take a new photo to show you on my next visit. But for now, here are the old orange doors just as a subtle reminder.

You always learn something new at a crank-in!
A fellow cranker could not wait to show off her new flower invention at the GKF crank-in this past weekend. MrB was anxious to learn from her. These little flowers will be an added feature to some of our baby hats. They are so cute! Some people add buttons in the center also.
