Pink Bag!

The bag that I bought from Studio Cate (ooh, the mint swirls tote wasn’t there when I was shopping…) got here in time to go on our trip! This is good for many reasons but mostly because I picked out my travel project to match!

pink bag!!  pink socks!!

I think I am making garter rib socks (it is hard to say, I am only on the first cuff) in LL Bittersweet (thank you again, Becky).

The Socks That Rock sport that I ordered for Toasty Toes is here too (yesterday was a very good day for mail). And I need help.

socks that rock, warm and cool

On the left is Lagoon (cool). On the right is Fred Flintstone (warm).

I am fairly confident that my Toasty Toe Match will like either one. But I just can’t pick! Do I go with the warm because it invokes the feeling of Toasty Toes? Or the cool because it is soothing and relaxing and a nice color for winter? Let’s put it to a vote:

***Poll Closed*** See July 23 entry for results!

Just to add a little fun, mention in my comments that you voted, and I will put you in a drawing for something. I don’t know what yet (ahhh, the mystery). But the packaging will be superb!

I hope this will keep you busy since Yarn Miracle content is gonna be kinda skimpy over the next week. The arts and crafts stuff takes up two suitcases and we have one carry-on packed full of potholder loops. If the plane is delayed, we will have a nice soft place to rest.

    I just voted and chose Lagoon. I also bought that colorway for a co-worker, but haven’t started them yet. I love Socks That Rock yarn!

    I voted for Fred. I just like the idea of toasty colors for the toasty toes project. I’m still searching for the perfect yarn for my sock pal.

  4. Meridith

    I voted for for Lagoon! But then, I’m always a sucker for green and blue…. Gorgeous yarn.

  5. Erica

    Both colors are very pretty, but I voted for Lagoon since I’m more into blues and greens.
    Have a great trip! I’ve been enjoying seeing all the project ideas for the kids.

  6. Jenna

    I voted but ultimately, I don’t think it matters which one wins because they’re both beautiful!

    Ha, I’m imagine the security guards looking at a bag full of potholder loops through the x-ray…

    WWWaaaaaaaahhhh!! How in the world did I MISS the Toasty Toes sign-ups?? HUH? I’m so pouty now. But I did vote. 🙁

  8. jess

    I voted for Fred because it’s hot! and it’s Toasty Toes. 🙂

    [I’m having a similar ‘which color STR should I send my pal?’ dilemma. 🙂 ]

  9. Sydney

    Oh, a project and travel bag to match! I voted for Lagoon. Fred Flintstone is probably more appropriate but on a hot day like today, Lagoon seems much more appealing. Have a good trip!

    delurking to say how beautiful a package to take traveling! i like lagoon but that’s me. ff has it’s time and place and today lagoon is calling..

  11. Antia

    I’ve voted! I have no idea why I chose what I did. Both yarns are lovely. Have fun with the kiddies next week.

  12. Gracie

    I voted for Fred Flinstone. Something to brighten up the winter months. And, it is a little fire like…

  13. E to the M

    I voted for the Flinstone because orange is my favorite color and I know that during the long Vermont winters I get very sick of blue (sky, ice, snow, toes…).

  14. Jenn

    Fread Flintstone. She will be gtting them in the middle of winter, and this colorway will make her think of he spring days ahead!

  15. Jenn

    I voted for Fred too (and noticed that it is now tied! Good luck!) as they look nice and warm to me. Yum. Warm socks in winter. Bit hard to think about these days over 100 degrees.

  16. Phoebe

    I without question voted for Lagoon…not big on the orange. I just got my yarn in for Toasty Toes today and can’t wait to start!

  17. Melissa

    I voted for Lagoon! I like them both, but I guess I am partial to blue! Either will be lovely, of course!

  18. Diane

    I voted for fred flinstone it is adorable first of all and second I would love to see socks name fred flinstone, yabba dabba doo

  19. KT

    I have been eyeing that FF over at BMFA, so of course I had to vote for it. Covet, covet. Have a great week with the kids!

  20. Lene

    Cool.
    Because blue and green in socks make my heart thud faster – light red and yellow, not so 🙂

    Lene

    PS: Have a nice holiday! I just returned from 1½ week scout camp *phew*

  21. emily

    I voted for Lagoon…it’s my personal preference, though, because green and blue are two of my favorite colors, and orange, well, isn’t. Although both are very pretty.

  22. Lara

    I voted for Fred Flinstone. I love the warm tones and I am really into orangy yarn lately. I will look forward to seeing what you choose!

  23. lynda

    Fred Flintstone – what a fun name for yarn! Of course, I voted for the other one- because I like the colors…

  24. Tania A

    I chose the Fred Flinstone because I love the warmth in those colors. They scream warmth and Autumn to me, for some reason. 🙂

  25. Sarah

    I voted for Fred, because it’s different. There’s not a lot off yellow/orange combos in sock yarn (or maybe that’s just my LYS, where it’s mostly blues and greens.) It’s a nice warm color combination.

  26. monica

    I voted for Fred Flintstone because I love that name for the color! I wonder if she’ll come up with a Cary Granite or Ann Margarock colorway too.

  27. Dympna

    I’m stopping by from Amazing Lace. I’ve enjoyed your blog. Hope you have a great time at camp. Your ideas for the kids are great.

  28. katie

    I tried to vote for Lagoon, but the server returned an error. Oh well–the bag you got from Caitlyn is awesome! It looks so great stuffed with matching yarn. =)

  29. sarah

    Hey Emily! Nothing like a good prize to make us all delurk, eh? Anyway, I voted for the Fred Flintstone colorway, which is just gorgeous! (Well, they both are; looks like it’s going to be a close vote!) Anyway, I found you through our Hurricane Sock Swap and love your site! Thanks for the great link to Stuio Cate, too. : )

  30. Twinsanity

    I voted the Flintstone since it reminds me of a crackling fire…which I’d put my feet in front of if I wanted Toasty Toes. 🙂

    My daughter just bought LL Bittersweet. She hasn’t yet decided what socks she’ll knit with it.

  31. Rachel

    Wow, it’s neck and neck! I voted for the cool colors but only because I like them better. Since I’m pretty sure I’m not your match (having never heard of this particular exchange), I don’t think you should give my vote a lot of weight.

    A carry-on full of potholder loops, eh? I kind of how you get picked for random additional screening.
