Of War and Sockdeath

During the past few weeks, I’ve been participating in Sock Wars 2006. It’s a tourney or assassin-style knitalong where each socknitter is assigned a target. We’re given a weapon (the International Socks of Doom pattern) and must try to complete and mail off our target’s socks before being killed ourselves. It’s been fun, even if it got off to a shaky start with Hurricane Gordon hitting Ireland right at the start. Yarn Monkey had trouble sending out dossiers but we got ourselves mostly sorted out and worked our merry ways through the tourney.

It has been interesting to watch; more »
