SOCK WARS III : THE RULES (last updated 14.2.08)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
>> WHAT IS SOCK WARS?<<
Sock Wars is the original and bloodiest extreme knitting tournament.
If you are brave enough sign up to do battle you will be emailed a
top secret assassination dossier on 9th May 2008. This file contains
the details of your target and an exclusive, never-been-publishedbefore
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!

I'm rooting you on!! You are going to kick butt and have such a great time participating. Can't wait to hear all about it when you are "deep in the trenches". :)
I would most certainly be dead within minutes. :-)
Hope it goes well for you! Have a great weekend!
Hope you have fun knitting your mystery socks! That sounds like too much pressure to me! LOL!
