Sock Warriors
Here are my Sock Warriors, Justin (left) and Joshua (right), holding my Tofutsie sock yarns. I went to see my sister, Teresa, and her family for a long weekend. They were patient with me as I continued to check my email throughout the weekend to find out who my target is and what her sock size is. I had a wonderful time with my darling nephews. They took turns clicking my row counter for me. They also enjoyed playing with my retractable tape measures, who knew that a knitting bag could be a treasure trove of toys? My sister, Maria, is my coach as she monitors my sock knitting progress and cheers me on. She convinced me to sign up and compete. Al thinks the Sock Wars III competition is a little over the top, but he is well aware of how passionate we knitters can be. My assassin's nom de guerre is Madame De Farge so I am not sure how long I will be alive in this game. At the very least, it has turned into a fun family affair.

Kids just love tape measures. I know mine has gotten me out all kinds of trouble. Good luck with Sock wars.

Didn't Madame De Farge get killed before the end of the book? I think that might be a good sign.
And I was always fascinated by retractable tape measures as a child.
Good luck!
