I like buying Knitting magazines so I can keep up to date on the knitting world; new techniques and articles I haven’t discovered on the web. In the recent August issue of “Knitting” magazine I read an article about sock knitting and discovered possibly one of the most fantastic sites ever.

Basically, you sign up, get assigned an opponent and then you both knit to the death! If you receive socks in the post before you have finished knitting your pair… you are DEAD. Oh no!! The winner gets $300. Amazing! My favourite rule is #5:
5. You are expected to work as diligently as possible on your weapon. Your target should expect their death at any time and live in fear of you. If you are not able to kill your target within a reasonable amount of time, please be kind to them and let them know, along with letting the Supreme Commander know.
Haaa.
Oh, by the way, if I can ever find the bloody charger for my camcorder I will be putting a Vlog up. (So you can see my sexy peeling skin)
