That is, SOCK WARS II. And I am a veteran of last year's inaugeral war. So I should know better. But I needed to build up my strength after dealing with being a little green around the gills, ugh. So here I am. As my cohort admonished me, however, I must get back in the ranks and knit to kill.
Each sock warrior is assigned a target. Therefore, each has an assassin. Knit to kill, send the weapon of death. When the death strike has been received (socks in the mail), target has been assassinated. I have received my Top Secret Sock Wars II Assassination Dossier with my assignment. I must go.
Just wanted to let you know. 'Cos War is Hell. And this is War!

LOL that really looks like fun Nina! I almost wish I could knit - I CAN crochet though. Hope you get it done on time hee hee
janice: Thanks for the good wishes, Janice. Crochet can be fun. I have a couple of works in progress that are looking for me to pick up the hook again. (PS If Donna asks, you did not see me here!) ;)
oh no - i'm on the internet reading about your socks life
(my hearing's not so good) :)
floots: Ah! You heard just fine. ;)
Now what can I say as regards this hmm hmm? er.. good luck er... no that could be double edged, hmm er... what caliber needles do you use?
Also remember wind and temperature all have a bearing on the trajectory especially wind. That said your spotter should help with that. Good luck on knitting your target!!!!
I'll keep this in the QT the hush hush, loose lips sink ships and so do knitting needles on an inflatable boat......
cal: Thank you for your sage advice. Weapons include 2.5 mm double-pointed bamboo needles. I unfortunately chose a yarn that is more challenging than I knew at the time of acquisition. But I am forging ahead! Hmm, maybe if I sharpen the tips a bit more...
Will post pics when I make some major progress (had a setback already--am hiding in the underbrush 'til I catch up).
Hi, Nina. I hope you like blue.
Signed,
Your Sock Wars Assassin.
(Tee hee hee)
AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Not the taunting, anything but taunting!!!
lol... Good luck! I'm still knitting scarves here!
katie: Thanks! Scarves are a great canvas for stitch patterns. One of my favourite scarf patterns is at knitty.com. Look for the Wavy scarf. :)
Wow, what have I blogged into? It's a Sockwar zone. God help us:-*
Are Sock to take over the World?
Keep safe and keep the faith;-)
Best wishes
Annie
annie: It's touch and go, if you know what I mean. You never know what kinf of evil socks may lurk in the shadows! Thank you, and I can only hope that all is well with you and yours.
wouldn't like to fall out with you
so aggressive
Nina how goes the sock war??
fotoface: LOL, that's right, they don't call me Wickedpointy for nothing!
janice: I am still alive, but perhaps not for long. I caught another break tonight--futbol practice cancelled, so I can finish my Socks of Doom. I will post photos early this evening (my time). :)
Nina, What is happening on the Sockwar front? All line of communication seems to be down... Are you still with us? I may have to release the pigeon if all else fails.
Have you run out of sheep yet ;-)
I had put the kettle for a cup of tea and a chat... Hello Nina, Nina are you there?
Bye
Annie
Nina Nina where art thou? Am missing your wonderful posts...
Soon, soon I have something for you--have just recovered from some computer woes! And of course, the aftermath of sock wars. Ugh!
;-)
You haven't posted in a while!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving!!!
Any new posts on the horizon??
Don't know about you but I'm of the generation that opted to 'make love not war' Look what it got us - sock wars! :)
Happy Christmas, Nina
I'm looking forward to catching up with you in the New Year.
Best wishes to you and your family
Annie

We are missing you! Thank you for dropping by.
Please come back soon ;-)
Happy New Year, my friend
Annie
popping in to say hello! Happy New Year!
I have returned, at last. :) It's like coming home.
Happy New Year to you all!
Dan and Donna: Thank you for the Thanksgiving holiday wishes!
Isadora: LOL, Sock Wars just sounds so contrary to everyday thinking, doesn't it? Except for all those pointy sticks...
Annie: Thank you. :) So glad you haven't given up on me, ha-ha.
Katie: I have caught up a bit, and will visit again soon. Happy New Year to you, too!
