I’ve sent out my second pair of Detinators. Whew!! Some poor girl in Washington state is out of the game as of Friday. I did get a break on this one- I received the pair with one sock done. 
Here is the finished pair, in it’s full glory! I think our guage is slightly different, despite following the directions as stated. I hope these are as appreciated as the previous pair!
Project specs: Detinators for Sock Wars 3. Again, the pattern is custom made for the contest. We (Rootsock and I) used Panda Silk from Crystal Palace yarns (Bamboo, Merino and Silk!) in a colorway 4003. I enjoyed trying this yarn. I’ve never used it before. My only complaint in the varigation is that there is a square of light pink on the ankle of each sock. Otherwise, I loved the colors and the feel of the yarn. I may have to try it again! I used size 2 metal DPN’s to get gauge. I completed the single sock in 5 days- working maybe 2 hours a day. It’s tough waging war over a holiday weekend!
BTW- Happy Belated Memorial Day to all you veterans out there! Dasches- we had a GREAT time picnicing with you!!
I think I’m next on your hit list and I can’t wait – you knit lovely socks! It will be an honor to be detonated by you
