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!
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.
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!

LOVE your new bag…and only a girl would THINK to coordinate their WIP with their bag!!!

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.
July 14th, 2006 at 1:27 pm
I voted for the F.F. but both are gorgeous!
July 14th, 2006 at 1:27 pm
I voted for for Lagoon! But then, I’m always a sucker for green and blue…. Gorgeous yarn.
July 14th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
I voted for Lagoon too. It’s nic eto have a cool color.
Your bag is really cute.
July 14th, 2006 at 2:16 pm
I love both colors, but I voted for warm because it seems to fit the ‘toasty toes’ idea better.
July 14th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
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.
July 14th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
I voted for Lagoon. I just love green and blue together!
July 14th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
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…
July 14th, 2006 at 2:43 pm
I voted for Fred Flinstone. I like the idea of warm colors for Toasty Toes. Maybe I’m weird that way?!
July 14th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
WWWaaaaaaaahhhh!! How in the world did I MISS the Toasty Toes sign-ups?? HUH? I’m so pouty now. But I did vote.
July 14th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
I voted for FF by accident! I meant Lagoon! I really like that blue and green together.
July 14th, 2006 at 3:28 pm
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.
July 14th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
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!
July 14th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
I voted for Lagoon, because I like it better
July 14th, 2006 at 6:15 pm
I vote for F.F. The color is just so toasty!!!!
Too apropos!
July 14th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
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..
July 14th, 2006 at 6:38 pm
I’ve voted! I have no idea why I chose what I did. Both yarns are lovely. Have fun with the kiddies next week.
July 14th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
I voted for Fred Flinstone. Something to brighten up the winter months. And, it is a little fire like…
July 14th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
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…).
July 14th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
I voted for FF - because it’s just so bright and cheery. And your new bag is really pretty
July 14th, 2006 at 8:36 pm
I voted for FF. And I love your new bag!
July 14th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Fread Flintstone. She will be gtting them in the middle of winter, and this colorway will make her think of he spring days ahead!
July 14th, 2006 at 9:00 pm
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.
July 14th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
I think I broke the tie, I voted for Lagoon and now it is 18-17 for Lagoon. I’m a sucker for blue and green together.
July 14th, 2006 at 9:30 pm
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!
July 14th, 2006 at 9:31 pm
I voted for Lagoon! I like them both, but I guess I am partial to blue! Either will be lovely, of course!
July 15th, 2006 at 1:16 am
Lagoon is one of my favorite colorways. And so cool for the summer.
July 15th, 2006 at 2:47 am
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
July 15th, 2006 at 6:07 am
Had to go with Lagoon. It looked nice and cool. It’s in the 90’s here in Michigan.
July 15th, 2006 at 7:10 am
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!
July 15th, 2006 at 7:32 am
Cool.
Because blue and green in socks make my heart thud faster - light red and yellow, not so

PS: Have a nice holiday! I just returned from 1½ week scout camp *phew*
July 15th, 2006 at 7:53 am
Oh I love the LAGOON yarn. And Love the new knitting bag!
Have fun on your trip! We will have to get togther for a little early am front porch knitting when you get back!
July 15th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
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.
July 15th, 2006 at 1:49 pm
I voted for Lagoon. Your new tote bag is so pretty!
July 15th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
I voted!
July 16th, 2006 at 9:42 am
Both look so yummy. I voted for the FF, since I’m not quite ready to think about cool. Love your new bag!
July 16th, 2006 at 4:11 pm
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!
July 16th, 2006 at 8:58 pm
What a pretty bag
July 17th, 2006 at 9:41 am
Fred Flintstone - what a fun name for yarn! Of course, I voted for the other one- because I like the colors…
July 18th, 2006 at 6:30 am
That lagoon just looks so cool on a hot day like this–but the Fred Flintstone was tempting.
July 18th, 2006 at 7:11 am
I voted for the Lagoon… I love blue and green. I’m partial.
July 18th, 2006 at 9:25 am
I voted and I’m down here in FL so we like everything WARM!
July 18th, 2006 at 9:28 am
I voted for the Fred Flintstone, but I may be prejudiced because I like the vitamins…
July 18th, 2006 at 9:59 am
I voted for Fred -
July 18th, 2006 at 10:03 am
I voted for Fred. Very toasty toes!
July 18th, 2006 at 10:45 am
I chose the Fred Flinstone because I love the warmth in those colors. They scream warmth and Autumn to me, for some reason.
July 18th, 2006 at 11:11 am
I voted for Lagoon… I’ve always loved cool colors.
July 18th, 2006 at 11:49 am
I voted for Fred, only because it’s so fiery. But I am ALL OVER that Lagoon, lemmetelllya.
STR makes me all drooly.
July 18th, 2006 at 11:58 am
I voted! Both colors are great (I have not met a STR color that I don’t like!)
July 18th, 2006 at 12:43 pm
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.
July 18th, 2006 at 1:19 pm
I, too, choose Lagoon. I’m a sucker for blues and greens!
July 18th, 2006 at 10:43 pm

I voted for Fred
Orange is such a great IN fun color right now.

Orange is such a great IN fun color right now.
July 19th, 2006 at 3:00 am
I voted for Lagoon because they’re my favourite colours
July 19th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
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.
July 19th, 2006 at 11:39 pm
I voted for Lagoon. But both are beautiful. I am sure your match will be happy with either.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:30 am
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.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:03 am
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. =)
July 20th, 2006 at 11:43 am
I voted for Fred Flintstone. I agree, the warm colors seem to say “toasty” to me more than the cool ones.
July 21st, 2006 at 9:15 am
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. : )
July 21st, 2006 at 6:12 pm
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.
July 21st, 2006 at 6:40 pm
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.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:31 pm
I voted for Lagoon but that’s no surprise to me… those are one one of my favorite color combos
