Woolgirl Oz Sock Club - Tin Man

Yep, I fell apart a bit.  I've been distracted by all of the usual holiday tasks and consequently have had a lot less knitting time.  I've fallen behind on photos and such, too, but I finally have some to share of my penultimate Oz Sock Club kit - featuring Tin Man!

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

The kit contents:

This is definitely one of my favorite kits!  The project bag is large with drawstrings to close it.  The heart-shaped tape measure is attached to a long cord, presumably for wearing around your neck if you choose.  The decorated red heart tin came with some little Hershey's kisses inside, and the little metal notebook holder has a spring-loaded cover that's held shut by the matching metal pen.  All very useful swag!

The pattern made me want to cast on immediately!

It doesn't look complicated, but it looks interesting with the different textures and matches so well with the yarn.

And the yarn:

Macaron MCN by Wool Candy!  The MCN is for Merino, Cashmere, and Nylon and it feels wonderful.  I love the muted colors and I have a feeling these will be another pair of socks that get a lot of wear.

But I restrained myself.  I haven't finished my Lollipop socks yet; in fact I haven't even worked on them in weeks since I'm trying to wrap up some Christmas gift knitting.  So the Tin Man socks aren't anywhere near the needles yet, but I might get to start them sometime around the New Year.
