Happy Valentine's Day

Before I get into the sock carnage of the past few days, I want to wish all my lovely fiber friends a wonderful Valentine's Day. You make my world so much brighter.  Thank you for being such incredible people.

While I had planned on holding Knit at Night tonight, my family has other plans.  Namely, the flu. The boys have all come down with raging fevers, so we'll be staying home, drinking OJ, and I'll be cleaning EVERYTHING. So Knit at Night is cancelled today.  We'll be back in full party mode next Thursday night.

And now for the Battle of the Soxes update.  It has been a gory few days.

As mentioned previously, dear, sweet Mara is dead.  Turns out that spending so much time next door to a yarn shop as caused her to bleed yarn.

I Bleed YarnThe Socks

Sharon from Missouri got quite a surprise when she was Attacked by The Killer Tomatoes.

Mindy discovered a gruesome tomato growing in her basement. It sought out the socks and hungrily demanded to be sent to Sharon.

Poor Sharon!

This news comes from Pam of Missouri:

"So, today around 11:00  I was at the knitting store when I received the 'dreaded' call from my 14 year old daughter. " Mom," she said, " you're dead, and these are the most beaUTIFUL socks in the world......... and they fit me!" 

I arrived home to find some amazingly perfect,deep green beauties......................... and a note that said "BANG! you're DEAD!!"  (such an unhappy note should not accompany such fabulous socks............but nevertheless.............)
I also pried the socks from my daughters feet (I will probably have to hide them)......
 
One side note
I was so delighted to see that my socks were from Nancy (in Bath)..... it just so happens that I was just looking for some rental property in Bath for vacation next summer..................
AND, I am such a fan of Maine that Lisa forbid me to wear my Maine sweatshirt in her shop......at least while we are warring :)
This was fun! Hope to meet you guys some day!"

We'd love to meet you too!  (Great shirt!!)

18 players remain.  Many pairs of socks are in the mail, either heading towards unsuspecting victims, or to a new assassin.
