cast ON!!!

So I went snowboarding for the first time this season and within the first hour I hit some ice and it sort of tripped me backwards, and I had enough force that when I reached out both my hands behind me, I ended up with two broken wrists.  And I had to sit around with them for twelve hours till I could get to the emergency room.  So what is a girl supposed to do with two casts?  I am not the type to sit around and watch TV all the time.  I usually knit while I watch TV.  Besides, even What Not to Wear can get old.  So what am I supposed to do?

Cast on!

 My fingers were very cold when I went outside, and the casts are so bulky that I can't even put my hands into my pockets.  I asked my mom to make me some fingers only gloves, but by that evening she hadn't and I just cast on myself.  Maybe the first day wasn't such a good idea, because my fingers swelled up and I had to stop.  But I finished them fine soon enough!

I actually used this pattern, because the gauge was more what I was looking for.  I cast on 34 sts on size US 4 needles and followed the instructions for the fingers in the pattern.  They're nice and warm, just what I needed!
