War Stories

Progress was slow for my assassin's weapon on Friday.  That's not to say that the entire day wasn't devoted to "war".

First, there was the Battle of Little Round Top.  The re-enactors worked with almost 400 kids from 4 local schools to recreate the battle in the field near our home.  The entire day was spent learning "first-hand" what life was like during the Civil War, in addition to the battle.

At the end of the day, the kids gathered round and listened to the Gettysburg Address.  The kids were great!

My target's dossier was emailed to me while I was at work.  After work, I headed to watch the Battle of Little Round Top and cast on for the cuff of my weapon: The Detonator.  Unfortunately, heading home  from school didn't mean that the night was open for non-stop knitting weapon construction.

Our day of war wasn't over with the Civil War.  The evening was spent with WWII.  More specifically, Special K had a sleepover on the USS Cobia and I was to provide transportation for her troop.

Doogie came to my rescue and drove the troops so that I could knit enroute.  (What a guy!) As a reward for his service and valor, we went out to dinner after depositing  "the crew" onboard the submarine.  Besides, my target might appreciate knowing that she was "treated" to a proper "last supper" before being "killed".  After a day of war stories, it's time for some peace and knitting.

Due to a few administrative snafus for the Sock Wars organizers, the list of assassins needed to be published and my target now has an opportunity to check on my progress.  In light of that, no further progress photos will be shown until my target is killed.
