Although I don't have a current picture, I have been making progress on my Toto socks from the Woolgirl Oz club. Since I had just finished the first sock of a different pair of socks, my lovely Stiletto-tip Signature Arts DPNs were technically free and were quickly donated to the Toto cause.

It's a very simple pattern and with no offense intended to the designer, it doesn't seem quite as polished as others I've tried, probably mostly due to the fact that it's lacking any sort of gauge information. So even though the pattern called for 64 stitches on US2 needles, I jumped in with my US 1½ (2.5 mm) knowing that most of my 64-stitch socks fit better at that gauge and that the pattern seemed lacy and would probably be pretty baggy otherwise. I'm glad I did because it's still a bit loose on the leg, but not bad.
Now I have the first sock done and I've started the leg pattern on the second, but I don't think these will make it off the needles before the next Oz kit arrives. Ruby Slippers are due to ship in the next day or two and I don't think I'll have enough dedicated knitting time to crank out the majority of the second sock in just a few days. Still, I'm mostly keeping up with the kits and the schedule is shifting back to every other month after Ruby Slippers so if I'm dedicated I might even be able to slip the Enchanted Forest socks in there somewhere.
(P.S. I know I've been slipping a bit on posting as of late, but I should have quite a bit to show next week!)
