Woolgirl Oz Sock Club - Lollipop Guild

I wasn't sure I could finish my previous kit socks (Poppies!) before this Woolgirl Oz Club kit arrived, but a dedicated push got them off the needles just before the new kit found its way to my doorstep.

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

The kit contents:

There's a lollipop and a lollipop lip gloss in there, another little scrabble piece painted and attached to a necklace-length chain, and a larger drawstring bag with handles.  I have to admit that my eye is immediately drawn to the large Certificate of Death on the fabric, which feels a little morbid, but it's nice to have such a large bag with the drawstring to keep it closed.

And then there's the bright and highly variegated yarn, appropriately from Sunshine Yarns!
Pro: Most of the club kits, while certainly not boring, have been more limited to a specific color or color family:

So a bright rainbow yarn jumped right out in a very happy way.
Con: Then I saw the pattern photo.  It looks splotchy or sort of tie-dyed once knit up.  I'm afraid it might be one of those yarns that I love in the skein that I don't love as much as a finished knit.  But I'll try not to worry about that until I've already knit a good chunk of a sock to find out.  It's hard not to love it in the skein!

Last but not least and always a favorite, the adorable stitch marker:

I don't know how she makes such tiny little things with so much detail!  I love the swirls in the lollipop!

I didn't cast on for these socks right away.  I want to admire the yarn in the skein for a bit longer, although I do look forward to trying it out since I haven't knit with this yarn before.  And I had a few other projects calling my name, but more on those in some future posts.
