Sock Wars III

Sock Wars III, first kill

Whew.My socks are in the mail to my "victim". Now all I can do is wait to see of I'm killed before my socks reach their target. My sock skills definitely improved over the 7 days I worked on them. Now I wait to see what happens next. Will I get a lovely new pair of sock to wear from my killer - or a lovely new pair to finish for my next target. An excellent reminder of how many things are completely out of our control.... But I finished one pair start to finish! There's at least 154 people at this moment who can't say that!

Sock Wars III, second kill

And then I finished up this pair and sent them off. I'm still in it!

Sock Wars III, third kill

Here's the description of the contest from the sock Wars website:

If you are brave enough sign up to do battle you will be emailed a top secret assassination dossier on 9^th May 2008. This file contains the details of your target and an exclusive, never-been-published-before knitting pattern with which to assassinate them.

To kill your target you must knit them the pair of socks in the pattern (your weapon) and mail it to them. Once your target receives your parcel they are dead and must post their death on the “fallen comrades” section of the sockwars site.

They must also immediately send you details of their intended target (who becomes your next person to assassinate) along with their unfinished knitting (which becomes your new weapon).

All the while this is going on, someone has been assigned you as their target…

Prepare to live in fear… Kill or be killed!

Event is sponsored by Southwest Trading Company & pattern is written using the Tofutsies sock yarn. Pattern comes out on May 9th.

And my third pair is in the mail.
