Dead Sleep Project

I had a few ideas for this book. I thought about a felted bathtub with a needlefelted naked girl in it - yeah, right! But settled on this project which took about all of 15 minutes.

I cut out the pallet from a felted project gone wrong and then needlefelted the paint.

Greg Iles has gone on my list of favorite authors!

I made two items for Dead Sleep. I knitted a Pop-Tart camera case and a chocolate bunny. I know Jordan found Pop-Tarts and Twinkies for junk food, but I figured chocolate counted! More info can be found on my blog, here, and on my Ravelry project pages.

Dead Sleep Project

Last month someone posted a purse project that had been completed earlier but fit her P.D. James book. Well, I'm following in those footsteps this month with a dual-duty project. I always have socks on my needles and I just completed a pair. While I didn't make them specifically for Whoduknit, I think Jordan would be pleased to wear them.

The yarn is Socks that Rock Covelite. The color combination is an unusual reddish brown with purple stripes and white accents. Someone with an artistic eye (Jordan and her camera, right?) would be drawn to these colors. The yarn is mediumweight, perfect for tramping around remote locations in heavy shoes. The cable pattern makes them nice and cushy as well.

I worked out this particular cable pattern on my own, but I'm sure it can be found in a stitch dictionary somewhere. Enjoy the pretty colors! Those of you on Ravelry, more pictures are posted there (my Ravelry ID is "seamless").
