I did the exact same thing...except it hit my little and ring fingers. No stitches (I should have gone to the hospital, but I just patched myself up). The best part? my hands were a little greasy at the time and I couldn't get it all off without effing up my knuckles even more, so now I have a small 'tattoo' from the grease in the cut where my fingers hit the chainring.
