I'm such an idiot v2.1

I took the Kauni sweater off the needles to try it on, and take a picture. When you take a sweater off the needles, you should toss the needle in the bag, right? Close by so that it's easy to put the sweater BACK on the needles, right? Yeah, hence the idiot tag I've given myself. I spent the better part of the day yesterday (when I was working at home) looking all over for this freaking needle. "Wait" you say - "Curlerchik, you have plenty of needles. Just grab another one." Yeah that would work if I had written down what needle size I was using. I know, I know, basic information. But I didn't do it. I knew it was around 4.0mm, but I couldn't remember if it was a 4.0mm or a 4.5mm. So I kept looking. EVERY. WHERE. There's only so many places it could be. In the kitchen/family room, where I usually knit it, and where I took the stitches off. Nope. Up in the bedroom, where I tried it on. Nope. Any and everywhere in between those two places. Nope. I finally gave up, and figured I'd try a 4.0mm, but it seems I have tons of metal ones, and no bamboo ones. Nor do I have any bamboo 4.5mm that are long enough. At this point, the Kauni went into time out, and I went out to the garden to check out my son's crops. The corn is doing amazingly well, and we pulled the first carrot (very tasty). Walking back to the house, I went around the front, to see my Rose of Sharon plant. It's right beside the patch of goutweed where I took the picture of the Kauni. You know what's coming, don't you? Yep, there it was, lying on the ground, no worse for wear after the major rainstorm it endured.

Remember your mother saying things like "You'd forget your head, if it wasn't screwed on!" I'm starting to believe her...

Oh, and the needle size? 4.25mm. I would have been so screwed...
