Sock knitting machines

Halifax Crafters Merry Beary Market

Olympic Hall

Halifax, NS

Dec. 1, 2012

While perusing the offerings at the recent Halifax Crafters winter market, I did a double take after I passed a stand selling socks.  What did I just see?  Wait...was that a machine that makes socks?!?  It sure was!

From what I've gleaned online, this is a P.T. Legare Circular Knitting Machine.  Check out the many varieties of these time saving devices here.  

If you'd like to learn more about the crafter who owns this machine, check out this interview with crafter Rosie Smith on the Halifax Crafters' site.

Congrats to the organizers and crafters for another successful craft show!

What's on This Weekend?

A bit of everything on either side of the county line this weekend.  

If you find yourself in Halifax this weekend, be sure to check out Halifax Crafters Society's Beary Merry Market!  They were voted best craft show for 2012 by the readers of The Coast, whoop!

On the locavore front, breakfasts galore, chowder, turkey dinner and supper.

This last item might not make sense to those who aren't native bluenosers....around here, lunch is often referred to as 'dinner'. Supper is supper.

Enjoy the weekend, looks like it's shaping up to be a beauty.
