I’m so frustrated with myself. No clue when was the last time I’ve seen this thing (wallet of crochet hooks). Yesterday I searched every project bag, every bag of my yarn stash, every drawer, nook and cranny where I might have put it absent-mindedly. I just went through them all again today. I have memories of seeing it on the breakfast table, on my desk (where the cat tried to annihilate the decorative tassle on its zipper), and in a project bag. I’ve moved it somewhere. I want to start a new project but need a hook of unusual size that is in the wallet. I haven’t been motivated to crochet in a while, and I caught a spark over the weekend by finishing up another project. Blegh. Fuck.

Thank you for reading my rant while I wallow in self-loathing.

P.S. This thing is neon fucking pink and bigger than a paperback book. I must have a forgotten project bag smushed into a closet or left out in the camper. I thought I accounted for all my half-started projects though.

    What were you thinking about or feeling at that exact time, can you trace back to it?

    Bonus if you were listening to music or what was the ambient noise that was happening at the time?

      Lol i was probably thinking that I didn’t want to put down my project in order to go to some board meeting/networking event/family function. “I’ll be riiiiiight back.” 😄

        Ooh, that’s peak weird spot time. I’d look, like, behind the couch, in case I set it on the back. Or if you have any weird little surfaces, check their vicinities. There’s a chance you put multiple things there, and when searching for one, mixed the other in somewhere close at hand. At least, if you’re like me lol

        Try to grab onto any hook like a current thought at the time or smell or sound that can help guardrail you back into the knowledge of what you factually did and where you put shit
