I have clearly lost my mind.
Or maybe there are gremlins in my apartment?
I swore that today would be about finishing some works-in-progress (gotta get everything up on Ravelry, dontcha know!) so I pulled out the SKB, tried it on, decided that all that was needed were the rows of purl ridges on the sleeves. Finish it, block it, done, right?
Can't find the needles. I mean, I can't find one of my #2 Knitpicks circs that I need to finish the sleeves. I know I had two sets. That's how I knit the lace on the sleeves. But there was only one set in the bag with the project.
Oh, it gets better from here.
I found my other project tote this morning and put it aside while I was clearing the closet looking for the needle. Then I realized that it might be IN that tote. So I went to get the tote and ..... and I can't. find. the. tote. anywhere.
There's, like, a ten foot radius maximum that it could be in but I can't find it. Anywhere!
Believe it or not, it gets even better.
I start going through things on my shelves - baskets of fiber and needles, mostly. Now, on the SKB and on the Sweetpea Shawl that I just finished, I was afraid I was going to run out of yarn, so I was very conservative and even planned to make 3/4 sleeves on the SKB (which I like better, anyway). The shawl needs fringe and I wasn't sure if I had enough yarn left for that, either.
So what do I find under some random fiber in one of the baskets?
A partial skein of Classic Elite Flash from the shawl. And a full, untouched, brand new skein of Tilli Tomas Pure & Simple silk. For the SKB. Thirty bucks worth of yarn that I now don't need.
WTF?



ah yes, the vortex of missing objects - i know it well. i do not, however, have a reverse-vortex where other objects magically appear. i'm jealous!
