Welcome to the original and bloodiest death-by-knitting tournament.

Sock Wars III kicks off on 9th May 2008 and will run until only one blood-soaked champion remains.  Over 1,000 knitters around the world have already signed up - are you brave enough to do battle with them til the death?

If you ARE brave enough sign up to do battle you will be emailed a top secret assassination dossier on 9th May 2008.  This file contains the details of your target and an exclusive, never-been-published-before knitting pattern with which assassinate them.

To kill your target you must knit them a pair of socks in the pattern (your "weapon") and mail it to them.  Once your target receives your parcel they are dead and must post their death on the website.

They must also send you details of their intended target (who becomes your next person to assassinate) along with their unfinished knitting (which becomes your new weapon).

All the while this is going on, someone has been assigned YOU as their target!

Prepare to live in fear... kill or be killed!


SIGNUPS HAVE NOW CLOSED FOR SOCK WARS III

This year, for the first time, we are delighted to have the support of corporate sponsorship.  South West Trading Company - producers of such all-natural, “unexpected” fibers as TOFUtsies® sock yarn – has signed on as 2008 International SOCK WARS III lead prize and yarn sponsor.
