Today, I dropped my knitting project while I was sitting down, but I managed to catch it between my legs. So my knitting needles also caught me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I dropped a knife while cooking. Luckily it missed my foot, but only because it hit my knee. FML
Today, I lost a sewing needle in the carpet. No worries, my big toe found it. FML
Today, I was taking my phone out of my pocket when it caught on the fabric and began to fall. I managed to catch it, but also smacked myself in the balls in the process. FML
Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML
Today, I was making my bed and had an armload of pillows. One slipped and I tried to catch it between my arm and leg. I missed, sending my fist into my nuts. FML
Today, I broke my little toe. It got stuck in my panties as I struggled to get a leg through. FML
Today, my reflexes kicked in when I saw a hot glue gun falling. FML
Today, at work, I used my foot to flush the toilet, lost my balance, and ended up catching myself with my foot in the toilet. FML
Today, as I tried to get out of bed, I got my foot tangled in my sheets. I reached out to my dresser to avoid falling flat on my face. I didn't fall, but I did manage to smash my fingers in the drawer while still trapped in the sheets. FML
Today, I had to buy a wrist brace for a repetitive strain injury. I got the injury because I was knitting too much. I'm 22. FML

But knitting needles aren't regular needles. They're a little sharp but it shouldn't be bad enough to make you bleed.

But being poked by a blunt object hurts like a bitch. I've had some nasty bruises from the same thing OP described.

I crochet but aren't there different sizes of needles? With smaller ones isn't there a chance to have enough force for it to pierce? Though as someone else said, whether it did or not it could really hurt..

I feel for you! I once tried to catch a cactus that my cat pushed down from windowsill.

Reflex catches can be a bitch! I once caught a big piece of lab' glassware just a fraction of a second _after_ it hit the sink. That was a visit to ER. Hope you aren't too sore OP.
