Sock Wars III - new update

Remember this? Well, it is now official that I have TWO killings to show off! My second victim, Zippity, wrote to me yesterday to confirm that she had been happily killed. The best piece of news is that the socks fit well, so one worry is now over for me. It was the first time I knitted socks size US12 and was a bit worried about the length. Paranoid, me??
Unfortunately I missed taking a picture of those socks, but hopefully Zippity will upload a pic on her flickr album soon, so that I can link to it :)
Zippity will be shipping to me her SIPs (=socks in progress) for her victim soon, so that I can work on another lethal weapon.

Sock Wars III - update

I've finished one....



and working on the twin. Thanks to all the messages of encouragement! Hugo and Miss Eve say hello and they're enjoying sock wars, because it means they can roam in the back garden all day long while mum is sitting there playing with pointy needles!

I am going into battle!

Today, starting at approx. 12pm GMT, the dossiers for Sock Wars III will be emailed and then I will be gone from a while from the click click machine. I am a novice of the battle, and surely my skills (or lack of) in sock knitting will have me dead by Tuesday, 13th of May...and still I have to try! I love battles... knitting my deadly socks will be fun and I have everything set... pointy sticks and circular (depending on the pattern), yarn (I am using the TOFUtsies, sticking to the recommendation) and bunnies (they are going to be the calming influence on me!).
There's going to be something like 1,270 warriors participating...that's a massive knitting battle, and I am determined to kill my victim :)
