Woolgirl Oz Sock Club - We're Not In Kansas Anymore

Easter hustle and bustle delayed me, but the We're Not In Kansas Anymore kit arrived late last week and is ready for viewing now...

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

The kit contents:

I now have so many little notions/change purse style bags that I have no idea what to do with them, but I was very pleased to see the larger project bag that was included!  There's also a sturdy travel mug, a small "What I Dreamt" notebook, a "We're not in Kansas anymore..." button attached to a keychain, and a small square pendant with a dog tag style chain.

The little button in the lower left is actually a small magnet attached to a card announcing the optional Glinda kit coming up this summer.  I'm sure it will shock the die-hard Woolgirl kit collectors, but I'll probably skip it.  I still haven't made myself go back to the pink yarn from the ruby slippers kit, so I don't really need more pink and everything in the Glinda kit is sure to be as pink as you can get.  Good for others, not good for me.

Again, I didn't get a photo of the pattern, but it has a lovely twisted stitch cuff atop an otherwise lacy sock.  It looks like the lace pattern continues into the heel and toe, but I'm not sure yet whether I'll follow that part of the pattern or modify it.

The yarn is a nice, squishy yarn from Mama Llama -- Perfect Sock, 100% Superwash Merino.  It seems to qualify as Sport weight, but it doesn't feel particularly heavy to me.  Of course, I just finished working on socks with Socks That Rock in Mediumweight, so that may have biased me a bit.

I really like that it's not a true solid brown -- my skein has sections of russet and greenish hues, so I look forward to seeing how it will knit up.

And of course there's another adorable tiny stitch marker to add to my collection.  I definitely don't use safety pins as stitch markers anymore!

Since I just finished some socks for my Mr. Wonderful (they went straight on his feet, so I don't have finished photos to share yet) and I'm struggling to make myself want to knit the Enchanted Forest socks (dark green, splitty yarn on US1 needles with lots of cables to emphasize the constant splitting), I wound this new yarn and cast on for the first sock last night.  I've barely started, but I like what I've seen of the twisted stitch pattern so far and I'm hoping the sizing works out on my Signature stiletto DPNs.

There are/were many distractions, but the sock knitting continues!
