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

Good dose of Fibre for today!

Brigadier 88 is getting a good dose of Fibre today!
Look at all the different colours of fibres in use as MrB cranks out socks.
MrB has been busy cranking and cranking to catch up from our sales at the market this week as his cranking time is limited to one week this stint before the next market. Can he reach his goal? I think I have 8 pairs or more to kitchener so I have get my arse in gear this afternoon. It is great to kitchener and have the tv on playing the soaps. I only put my head up when it's real important. hahaha

Purple in what world?

Purple in today's world? No, apparently not, but it is to be purple in Tomorrow's World, as the name of this colourway is Tomorrow's World! One kitchenered and then one more to go. Alas, all the cranking/knitting has been done for this week, goals met and some surpassed, which is good. Tomorrow is getting ready for Saturday's Market, cuz we are still in today's world!

The Constrast!

The contrast of the pastel softness of the colourway Lollipop and the vibrant richness of the colourway Blind Venus with a splash of spring too!

Cool Ocean Breeze a blowin'

MrB took this picture today of me while we went out for a nice cool ocean breeze walk this afternoon. And to make this post sock related, although it is St. Patrick's Day I did NOT have green socks on. Today I had on my nice Belfast Mini Yarn from PEI, socks on that happen to be a beautiful lavender or mauve colour with two grey stripes. I really like this picture so I wanted to share it with my blog followers!
