Woolgirl Oz Sock Club - Scarecrow (Halloween)

There are fewer daylight hours and a lot of distractions, but no real excuses for the silence.  I'm still knitting and, since the end of the year is quickly approaching to mark the end of my Oz Club subscription from Woolgirl, the kits are arriving even more quickly now.  The Scarecrow kit landed on my doorstep just a couple of days ago.

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

The kit contents:

There's a cute little pair of overalls that were stuffed with crinkly paper (like straw) and edible treats, a decorative scarecrow, a large spiral-bound journal, and a Scarecrow bookmark and gift tag.  The quippy extras included a Scarecrow button that says "I'm Tinking" and a pen featuring the Scarecrow that reads "Did the Wizard Ever Get Back To You About That Brain?".  I don't have a lot of use for the button, but I really like the pen.

The project bag is a dark, Halloween-style fabric with the Wizard of Oz characters.  It's big enough to hold a sock project and I really like that it zips shut to keep everything neatly contained.

The Paca-Peds yarn is perfect for fall; I love the colors!  This time it's a yarn that I already have in my stash (obviously in a different color), but haven't had a chance to work with yet.  I was (and still am) drawn in by the fact that there's a contrasting heel/toe mini-skein included.

And, as always, the adorable stitch marker doesn't disappoint:

The included pattern doesn't include photos of the contrasting heels and toes, but it did make me immediately hope that my socks would have such gorgeous spirals:

And they called to me so strongly that I cast on for these socks not long after opening the kit!  My contrasting mini-skein is a gold/orange color, but it appears that it varied from kit to kit as other people mentioned different colors.

I'm not knitting these exclusively, but I am hoping to finish them in October.  After all, they seem perfect for Socktoberfest.
