Ok everyone, here's my dilemma: I'd love to go as an undead housewife for halloween, but so far I'm just a really pale, slightly bloody woman in a cute 1950's frock. My dream: to make it look like someone has stabbed me (in the neck or chest, preferably) with knitting needles. This is especially fitting because I'm often mocked for knitting absolutely *everywhere.*

I don't mind ruining a set of needles, but I can't figure out how to make the effect.
Ideas, anyone?
(if you've a better or easier fatal housewife injury in mind, let me know that too!)
