Two more fall

It is with a heavy (yet somewhat disturbingly gleeful) heart that I report the passing of two brave warriors.  While valiantly knitting away, they didn't realize just how close their own assassins were to weaving in those last ends. 

Both arrived to find death literally on their doorsteps. 

At 9am, the entire battlefield felt the shock as Lisa of One City Market- an early fan favorite due to her boundless energy and spirit -  fell to the swift hands of Caitlin.  If only Caitlin had Lisa's home address, the kill would have taken place much earlier.  The small reprieve allowed Lisa to see daylight one more time. 

The following death notice is posted on the door of One City Market in honor of Lisa:

"Lisa, an avid knitter and competitor in the game, was assassinated by her friend and knitting buddy, Caitlin. The weapon Caitlin chose was a lovely pair of worsted-weight, green heathered, Killer Zap socks and the killing delivery was done in the cowardly fashion of taping the assassination socks to the porch of One City Market. Caitlin shall henceforth be referred to as Caitlin the Sly (aka Sly), due to the sneaky, underhanded way she constructed her weapon right in front of her unsuspecting target."

Congratulations to Caitlin who should be inheriting Lisa's target and on her way to her next kill.  Good luck!

The second death happened locally and was captured by our journalists in the field.  Kim, a sock knitting novice, proved her skills today as she became the third assassin in the game to successfully kill their target.  

Susan, may she rest in peace,  gracefully accepted her death and even nominated her killer for the most creative award! Talk about class.  

A few pictures of Kim's Killer Zap! socks:

And the actual hit.  That's right.  Our ace reporting team got shots of the killer in action. Don't be fooled by that innocent face.

I like how she went with the noose for the coffin - nice touch!

At last count their are 7 deadly pairs of socks making their way to their victims.  That means (if my math is correct) we have 36 players without death breathing down their neck... YET.

Before I finish this update, I must say that I am beyond impressed with the creativity and spirit I have seen.  There are a number of pictures in my email, just waiting for the kills to go down, so that I can share them with everyone. Wow.  That's all I can say.  Wow.  Knitters are really incredible people.  I am truly honored to know you all.
