Sock bag swap

Square bottomRectangular bottom

Contrasting colors!
Rectangular bottom - in use!

These are some of the sock bags that I sewed this weekend. They are fully lined, and therefore reversible! Each one has a drawstring top with a loop for knitting socks on the go.

I was so flattered and surprised when Ann left a comment asking me to make some for her. Sunday afternoon, I finished two bags for her (one square and one rectangular bottom) and posted them in today's mail. We're doing a swap and I can't wait to fondle the yummy goodness she promised to mail me.

I guess that since I've already done one swap of these bags, I should open the offer to other knitters. If anyone is interested, leave me a comment with a way to contact you. I'd be willing to swap for handmade stitch markers or something else crafty. Knit happy.

Oh, yes, and speaking of sock yarn, the STR poll is still open. The tie has been swinging back and forth all weekend long. Can we put this to bed soon with a definitive choice of color (so's I can pick a winner) or shall we just let this continue on until I am actually ready to cast on and have to flip a coin?

I'd love to trade with you! I make stitch markers and all sorts of other things, like bead bracelets. Check out my blog for pics of some of the beadwork I do. I also have a ton of sock yarn. We can work something out.

Very very cute!! Hopefully I will have the finishing touches on mine this evening to share with everyone!

I keep getting distracted by the knitted dishcoths! I love these things!

Cute bags! I really want to vote, but the poll won't open up for me, it's always blank. Is there some kind of trick or something that everyone else knows about voting? I've always been rather slow in the technology area.
