Ok Remembrance Day is over, today is Friday the 13th, and tomorrow we will be at the market! Officially now I feel comfortable talking about shopping for Christmas.

I do not know where our display location is, yet for tomorrow. My best guess is to search both the Upper Main courtyard and the Lower Courtyard if you are looking for US, Socks Made On 88!!

So Happy with my Good Karma Dyeing from June/15
Every year we go to the Good Karma Farm crank-in. And every year I go there to do some dyeing for my own personal use. I am so happy how my colours turned out, as Blake just cranked out my socks for me! I am so happy I will have 4 more pairs of socks to wear this winter once I get them kitchenered! Now I can't wait to go back again next June!

November 14th/15 ~ Left-Overs and Deranged will be ready!
Left-Overs and Deranged Sock Pairs will be on hand for our market stint on November 14, 2015 and on through to December 19th, which includes 4 market visits to The Historic Farmers' Market. Those dates will be : November 14, November 28, December 5, and December 19th.
We will also have extra stock of our very popular Regular Hung-Hemmed sock pairs. And if you are still looking for other different kinds of socks pairs, we have available also Ribbed sock pairs and our short-tabbies also. And if Socks are not your game, Hats are for sale also. We sell Adult Hats and Baby Hats! And last but not least we also sell soap-sacks and they too are great for little gift bags.
Although we maintain our display rack mostly with brightly coloured sock pairs, we do sell some conservative plain sock pairs too! They are made from Canadian Superwash Yarn that is 85% wool and 15% nylon, from Shelridge Farm in Ontario. We offer those in two very satisfying colours, of Opal Blue and Cajun Spice.
See you back at my blog next week. Till then take care and if you are an owner of our socks, make sure you continue to enjoy Our Hugs for Your Feet!

"Irwin Nathaniel" helps me today working within Socks Made On 88!
Irwin has been with my family since 1984, and I chose him to help me out with a couple of photos today. Doesn't he look cute? Notice his hat!
Blake has been busy cranking out our Baby Hats in 4 different sizes,to increase our inventory for the fall/winter season. Mind you, we do sell them all year round! We have developed baby hats in sizes small, medium, large and extra-large. This sizing method has proven to work very well for us. Here is a an aray of several colourways to fit that baby boy, girl or unisex need. When you stop by to get that gift for your special baby, MsB will assist you in making your choice an easy one. We will be at the Historic Farmers' Market, Brewery Square, on November 14, 2015 (7am-1pm) .
