well, Jane/Daisy, *I* find the expression "most" might've used:

another hole in the head

OFFENSIVE because a cousin committed suicide that particular way, so the rear-end reference was MY way of saying pretty much the same thing. Besides, using 'bum' or bung is a hellova lot nicer than saying aXXhole, yes?

Hehe! I thought there might be someone here who would be interested in it. I'm too busy crocheting hats for a craft fair at the moment.

I was thinking about making a huge sock to go over my plaster cast but I didn't get round to it. I've got to go back to the hospital on the 31st so hopefully the cast will be gone soon.

Y'know, a 'bank-sock' is actually a very good idea, AND can be used as both a weapon, if necessary, AND to smash out a window of a car if one finds oneself in deep water..... Just My 2 Cents Noreen

Get Well soon Sarah Why knit a sock , take some nice piece of cloth and wrap it around the top of your plaster and paint a small face under it ,, you will see how funny it is ,,,,, mirjam

The Funniest sock i ever knitted was for my stepfather , i knitted him a Bank Sock , for all the coins he always had in his pockets. You know how folkstories say that people colect money in socks ,,, thus i knitted the sock with a rather wide base and high Leg, and knitted some words into this as well ,, He used it till the end of his life .

Years ago i taught knitting to a woman who had only one leg, she insisted on knitting always 2 socks , and never explained it why . mirjam

Sarah,

When my leg was in a cast I crocheted "toe cozies" -- like a sock, but just enough to fit over the open toe and stay put. After the cast was off, I used them while I had to wear the "velcro boot". I had different color ones for different outfits. :-)

Okay, I signed up. I'll probably be eliminated early on, but I don't care. Maybe I'll be able to whip out a pair of socks in record time for me with this kind of motivation

When I had foot surgery I had a beige knit socklike thing to wear with the special foot sandal. I embroidered all around the top edge of the sock (just a twining vine) to cheer it up!
