Injury Inspired knitting.....

Ok yes I'm an egg, I tell the children everyday not to run in the house so I SHOULD know better....but I don't listen to my own advice and ran to the kitchen buzzer and on the way smacked my toe on my newly rearranged dressing table....result. A well broken toe.

So to keep my swollen and bandaged toe warm (it really wasn't the time of year to get a foot injury as it's too cold in the morning not to be able to wear a shoe), I made this quick sock. using This ninja sock pattern minus the toe cap.




Turns out it wasn't needed for long as I saw specialist today and had my toe straightened as it was sitting on top of my little toe still and so now I'm in the most fashionable of accessories.....A moonboot


For some reason this photo makes me want to sing.....I will fly you to the moonboot and back, if you'll be, if you'll be my baby ;)



Oh and apologies for the hairy and very very white wintery pastey knee, that is just not acceptable ;)

So I think my enforced rest during study time is telling me something....That I have no excuses not to study since I can't go anywhere or do anything.

I so feel your pain Leah. I did the same last year, broke the toe next to my big one, was really crooked and hurt like blazes when the doc janked it back into place. Hope you are on the mend soon.

haha Cathy, I'd love to sew, unfortunately I have university exams in just over a week...but then after that I'm free for 3 weeks so I'll see what happens. I'd love to get some sewing done as we are redoing the girls bedrooms.
