So that's my Paper Bag Project for August complete. And that's me caught up in that group too. By this time next week I'll have selected my September bag and made a plan for that. I'm tempted to cheat and make sure it's that unknown red yarn as that would suit a test knit I've signed up for. I wouldn't even have to look since the remaining bags are so differently shaped that it's not too hard to guess what's inside. The fullest bag has 4 balls of Lang Jawoll Superwash. The emptiest bag has 2 balls of CoBaSi. The flattest bag has an uncaked skein of Songbird Fibers. Yeah, I think I'm gonna select the red yarn... and now it seems almost silly to wait until August 31st but rules are rules.

Love the Venetian Blind socks!
I love how the Venetian Blind socks turned out Lynn! Very beach like but yet still enough contrast to see the stripes. Nain are looking good but I can definitely see how yarn hungry that pattern would be!
Congrats on the beautiful finish. I love when you can use your yarn down to the very end, although it can be a little nerve wracking.
Those Venetian Blind socks are terrific! I love that they are opposites. They turned out beautifully! And you've given me an idea with your grab bag socks projects. I've thought it a fun thing for you to do, but couldn't imagine myself sticking with something like that. I'm still not sure I have the stick-to-it-iv-ness, but I may just give it a go with another theme. I'll see if I can get it together and write about it next week. And, if so, I'll give you credit. :) Even if I bomb, you still get the credit.
OMGosh, I love your socks! They are so neat and I like the fraternal twin look. Did you carry the yarn up so you didn't have so many ends to weave in? I like the looks of your next pair. You are the sock queen. I've been wanting to try toe up again because I feel knitting the foot takes longer than the leg.
Your Venetial socks turned out great. I loke the pattern on the new ones you jave started. Red socks! I dont think I have ever seen red socks on ANY blog. How fun. DO IT!
Oh my! Your Venetian Blind socks are perfect. (Totally my colors.) And your new cast on is such a stunning pattern. It's really amazing how there can be such a variety in character in socks. Your small-footed friend is lucky!
I've been enjoying watching your progress on these - I love the colours you chose and think they work beautifully. Congrats!
Those socks are the greatest! I can definitely see the ocean and the sand colors...no doubt about it! I like the name too...very fitting. The next ones are pretty too and the design looks interesting...love those colors.
