Socktacular Saturday: Sock Wars (Cliff Notes Style)

"It not personal; It's SOCK WARS."

That this the declaration my Facebook status makes this evening. Promptly, BFF respodned that she still wasn't sure what it was all about even though she had seen a post on it from another blog. So, this is my attempt to describe Sock Wars. However, it will be in Cliff Note fashion.


• The Structure:

Each participant has a target and is a target.

• The Objective:

To kill your target with a pair of knitted socks before you are killed by a pair of knitted socks.

• The weapon:

A pair of knitted socks. The patterned used has to be from the official list of Sock Wars patterns.

• When is your target considered "dead"?

When they receive their socks

• If you kill your target what happens to their target and their targets socks?

Once you have killed your target they send you the socks they were working on along with their targets information. This person then becomes your target and you must complete the unfinished pair of socks and get them to your target before your death socks arrive.

• What are the warriors strategies to win Sock Wars?

For some knitting until their hands fall off. For others, all night knitting. Giving up all social engagements until their weapons are complete. The lengths are unimaginable!

• What is the final prize?

Well, besides bragging rights, there is also a fibrous incentive as well!


Any Questions????


Until later . . .
