I suppose it was inevitable that it would happen one day....and yesterday it did!  I tripped over a dog and have wrecked my foot.  The pain was unbelievable.  Hospital thought I had a cracked a bone but I have torn and ripped ligaments.  So now I'm swinging around on crutches.  Walking and spinning out of the question but at least I will be able to knit!  Here is my latest attempt at designing....maybe I shall now be able to get on with it....
