Website url here on blog

When I listed the url of our newly created website it did not highlight to access freely so I have added it on the blog for your convenience.  It is located to the right hand of the page below the introduction picture and the title says. Our own Website, you just need to click on the grey highlighted words of Socks Made On 88 and it should take you directly to the website now.

101 ways to tell you about...

Just noticed that I am at 101 posts! Hurray!  Well you have read the first 101 pages, the first few chapters of our story, of our little venture so far. We are not near to the end yet, so hold on... I think it may a long one!  :-)

Just Daffy or Ducky!

These are just daffy socks, no they are just ducky socks!  Which ever term you prefer, they are nice and bright for Spring! 

                                                                

MrB knows better now not to make new products in a size 8 as he is afraid I may just snatch them up for myself!

The knitting pattern on these socks is Pyramid, if you recall we did have an off-white and a pale pink pair posted a few months back.

These beauties are in a Women's size small 5/6

Website announced soon

I was very fortunate to ask my step-son if he would help me set up a website.  We spent several hours on preparing it and getting it launched to announce.  I tweaked it a little bit this morning and tomorrow I hope to add some product #'s and Vela it will be ready to share with all of you!  What a undertaking that is, but I am glad we decided to pursue it

Well looking back, look what I a have joined and created: Yahoo groups, ravelry groups, created my blog, created my own rav group, got a crank-in started, started our facebook page and now a website.  Computer time, here I come, came and wore the T-shirt ....I certainly did do a lot of that in the last 5 months. But I loved every minute of it!

MrB said to me last evening, now you will probably phase out your blog?  I said No I don't think so, that's my first baby and it's personal and I do enjoy going there, being myself, saying what I want to say, expressing myself and it is less formal, professional and just plain old fashioned FUN for me.  I can come here and talk, and some soul listens. 


So tomorrow sometime I will come back and officially announce the website :-)

1 down 2 more to go...till Fall!

One market down today and two more to go in May until we take a summer break and will reconvene market attendances again come Fall, in early September. This has truly been a very good experience and with every single market we do get more exposure.  The Erl certainly grabs the attention of passerbys.  

May Markets:
May 12, 2012  @Petpeswick Yacht Club, Musquodoboit Harbour  9am- 3pm
May 26, 2012  @Hillside Market 50 Ritcey Crescent, Cole Harbour  9am-1pm

If there is anyone local who follows my blog and is looking for sock purchases, we also have an ongoing facebook page to show you which colours and sizes are available at any given time.  Just search: Socks Made On 88 or go to 
www.facebook.com/SocksMadeOn88
 or email us at: 

sockson88@gmail.com
Just because we are not doing markets in June, July, or August we will still have SOCKS available through those above mentioned contacts. I may even work on seeing about developing a web site soon and if that happens I will be right over here to annouce it.

We will be back doing markets again in September just in time for some early Christmas shopping.

September Markets:
Sept 8, 2012  @Cole Harbour Harvest Festival, Cole Harbour Place, Cole Harbour
Sept 15, 2012 @ Hillside Market, 50 Ritcey Crescent, Cole Harbour   

We are also very much looking forward to attending a Crank-in in Maine in June!  This is like sock-school ...so you will never know what new ideas MrB will bring home to inspire new sock creations.  


I would like to thank everyone who has been reading my blog!  I know that my blog enteries have surely slowed down in the last month.  They are apt to slow down some more for summer but I will be here when ever I have something new to report or to update.


I think my sock work is done for today, and I am going to take the rest of the evening and just enjoy some of the weekend now.  I hope you all have a pleasant weekend and I will be checking in again real soon!


To those of you, who are fellow crankers, Happy Cranking!
