There is red all over my Battle of the Soxes database. Each time a player dies, a little box next to their name turns red. Green means you are still alive, and yellow... well, yellow isn't good, you just don't know it yet.
This past weekend, Alva died at the hands of Danielle with Purple People Eaters.

Helen fell at the swift hands of Nancy.
Sheryl was quite relieved to see her death arrive. Sara freed her from the anxiety of the game, just as tax season heated up.
7 remain alive:
Pam of Maine
Carrie Lee of Maryland
Sara of Maine
Caitlin of Missouri
Mindy of Maine (yes, we claim her as a Mainer, but we're willing to share. )
Nancy of Maine
Danielle of Maine
Death is already on the way to some of these brave knitters (if you know who, shhhhh!!!). Others have a bit more precious time.
And we have a winner in the photo contest!! While many sent in fun pics, Deb went above and beyond. For the sake of the game she has reported from beyond the grave. For those still living, here is a taste of sock heaven. Notice the beautiful socks, healthy stash, and angelic helpers:



Thanks Deb! The Sox Stix are yours!
Now that the game is nearing the end, the judges and I will be conferring about the various prize categories. Once we have a champion, the lucky prize winners will be announced.
