Woolgirl Oz Sock Club - Cowardly Lion

This kit shipped a bit late, so although it's marked as the November kit it didn't arrive until the second week of December. Then, since daylight outside of standard working hours is hard to come by this time of year, I didn't get it photographed until this weekend. But before it gets lost in the shuffle of Holiday activities, here it is!

************ Spoilers from this point on! ************

The overall shot:

Lots of Cowardly Lion swag, including bookmarks, magnets, and a notebook with a Cowardly Lion cover. This time there are some items themed on the illustrations from the book, too, and not just from the movie - little charms and a couple of round glass magnets.

Here's a little close-up of the charms:

The sock pattern is from Irishgirlieknits and although it looks pretty simple the cuff looks interesting and it looks like it will show off the lovely yarn well. This time we have Union Center Knits Whatnot Sock in fingering weight and I love the variation of colors in the skein with hints of russet brown and green.

And probably the best of all of the little goodies:

The super-adorable stitch marker lion holding his little tail -- I'm always amazed people can craft such tiny things with so much detail!

Now since I finished my knit-along socks last night I don't have any socks in progress at the moment, so these might leap-frog the Enchanted Forest socks and get cast on next. My last couple of pairs of socks have been knit with such dark yarn that the lion color looks much more cheery and appealing to me at the moment.

Due to the aforementioned issues with finding daylight the pictures have been slower in coming lately, but look for updates on the knit-along socks and some holiday knits before too, too long.
