Here are my completed Wayward Socks from the first installment of the Cookie A Sock Club. The yarn is Alisha Goes Around Richness (of Martens) Fingering yarn (75% fine Superwash Merino Wool & 15% Cashmere) in the Genevieve colorway. The yarn is lovely to knit with and is very soft.
These socks took me a while to knit as I ended up re-knitting the foot of the second sock because if felt too big. I noticed on Ravelry that some club members went down a needle size for the foot. Since I did not do that for the first sock, I did not want to do that for the second sock so I just knitted more tightly.
I adore Cookie A's patterns and do adjust them slightly as I knit them. She will have the purl as the first stitch on the needle. I find that this will create a bigger ladder than usual and I move the stitches around to have each needle start with a knit stitch. This toe is very square due to the nature of her intricate toe pattern and I even moved on stitch from each end over the next stitch a la Cat Bordhi. These socks were a challenge to photograph and look much nicer when being worn.
Love the pattern. You are right about the toe - they are square. They will be perfect for me as I have very square feet.

What intricate socks! It would take me a long time to knit those. They are lovely.
