Claude Monet's Garden at Giverny
I thought it'd be fun to share the KALs I'm finding for August, but I do apologize that I didn't think of this earlier. Next time I'll post KALs for September mid-month, so that you have time to prepare.
Some of these KALs are starting later in the month. If you do want to do one that starts today, go for it! I started my Sherbet Shawl for the Summer 2016 KAL on the very first day of the KAL. I hadn't intended to do it at first because the yarn was too expensive for me, but then I saw others using whatever they had in their stash, or they bought another brand and I thought that there's no reason why I can't do it. I ordered Chroma Fingering Yarn in Pegasus and Groovy from Knit Picks that day (at a very reasonable price and with leftover birthday gift money) and I got it in a week. It ends up I'm not thrown at all at being behind and I'm just happy I'm doing it. It is a mystery KAL, so I've stopped looking at the spoiler chat and the new update to keep it a surprise for myself.
Here's some fun KALs starting today or coming up-
Hat KAL starting August 1st to End of September
from "Awesomesocks"in "Hey Sister Podcast Group" in Ravelry.
One of the suggested hats that could be knit called "Bray Cap"

"Hey Everyone! This thread is to see if anyone is interested in joining us for a Hat Knit Along! We’re still working out the details, but thought it’d be fun to do it leading up to fall. WIP’s will definitely be allowed! If you have any pattern recommendations or tips to share, we’d love to hear them! We will definitely have prizes, but we’re still working all that out. More information will come soon! At this point, we’re planning on making as many of these hats during the KAL as we can". Link to join discussion and get details- Hat KAL.

Metro Lines MKAL by Christopher Salas Starts August 1st
"This is my very first MKAL I designed. The name of the pattern is inspired by the design elements in one of the clues. The pattern, a triangle shawl, is a bit experimental, combining texture, short rows, and stitch patterns to keep everyone of all skill levels entertained. All it takes is two different color skeins of sock yarn that are at least 400 yards. Maybe you want to use those lovely two skeins you’ve been saving for a special project? This could be that project! The pattern will be released over four weeks. "
A Stash Buster!!!
Twins MKAL Sweater Starts August 7th
Welcome to our Twins MKAL!
"Have you ever knitted a pullover or cardigan that is completely reversible? One that looks amazing from either side? This pattern found its inspiration from my two horses Lizzy & K.C. (I am riding him). People who see us always comment that the two look like twins."

Nutkin Sock KAL- FREE- Starts August 1st.
And a Crescent Shawl KAL coming up August 20th!
Details-
"Designed for the 10th anniversary of the Hill Country Yarn Crawl but open to everyone on Ravelry, this Mystery is all about the interplay of two colors combined with interesting textures. The Mystery Knit-Along will be presented in four weekly clues, which will be arriving automatically in your Ravelry library as pattern updates - the first clue will be released on August 20th and the final clue on Sept. 10th. The cost is only $1 until Sept. 3rd; after that the pattern will be available at the regular price of $6.50.
The pattern includes two shapes to choose from: my classic crescent shawl, worked the top down and shaped with easy garter stitch short rows; and a rectangular stole, which is worked sideways to avoid tricky center joins."
