For 15 years I haven't bothered to knit anything at all and more years than
that since I knitted anything vaguely lacy but recently found some
irrisistable colours on sale which I just had to buy, price excellent too:-)
I have just finished knitting a cardigan with no lace but a tiny bit of
pattern (I could only find a couple of very basic patterns after all this
time.)
On thursday I stepped out of my door with bags in my hand and ended up doing
an elegant sideways roll, badly spraining my right foot and breaking a bone
in my left. So my new not very elegant leg and footwear is a tubigrip
bandage on one leg, a hard half cast thing wrapped with bandages on the
other, a pair of socks borrowed from DH and one of his slippers which is the
only thing I can get on at present.
But, my ears went up reading this Clay, what are toe-up socks? I think when
the cast is changed I wont be able to use his socks any longer and will need
something to keep my little toes warm.
Thursday I have to have a full cast put onto the broken foot but like all
things we have no idea how long before I will be able to take all my weight
onto the other one, certainly not yet.
I think I need L plates for these crutches which I am not good at driving,
<g>.
I am now knitting a really nice twisted rib waistcoat in rich purple, so its
keeping me occupied a bit, and I cant get close enough to my lace pillow to
work at present but I am also hoping to use some of the time getting better
at the needle tatting.
DH is a star, and serving me home made strawberry ice cream, <VB Grin> but
not worth breaking anything just for that which I would have got anyway:-)
Mind you when I am mended he needs an op on his knee, so then is my turn to
take over being chief cook and bottle washer.

I did do some knitting today! I'm working on the second of a pair of
toe-up socks, and they're delightful!
