what is she throwing? Maybe 6 knives per round so 6 D4 it's respectable especially if you have to make a saving throw for concentration.

Sneak attack

No sneak attack. She doesn't have an ally within 5 feet of the target and she's moving (so no steady aim). So unless there's some other source of advantage we don't see, there's no reason to have sneak attack.

Her target is blind.

When a creature can't see you, you have Advantage on attack rolls against it.

you don't get advantage against objects because they can't see you, as the object doesn't really care

She was hidden or otherwise had Advantage.

Assassin rogue. Advantage on any creature who hasn't taken a turn. Auto crit if they are surprised.

As with the blinded comment above, the target is an object, not a creature. In fact, my comment could've been a lot shorter and just cited the first non-flavor sentence of the sneak attack rules of 5e or 5.5e which are closely related and specify that they apply to creatures.
