Okay, now I know I’m not crazy, but in a sense I guess I really am.
I’ve been going nuts since last night trying to find my missing Options Size 8 tips so I can finish my Deep Breath sweater. I cleaned up my end of the coffee table last night trying to get organized and find where I put them down, since I JUST had them recently (I made a note in my knitting journal about taking them out of my unfinished black armwarmer, and I was positive I had used them to start the ribbing on the bottom of the sweater!), but all I found was a circ with Size 10 tips.
It was supper time, so I put it all aside and ate, and then later on I commenced searching again. I picked up the same circular off the coffee table and remeasured it (because I was desperate and I always search the same places multiple times) and −− there it was! My Size 8 tips! I was happy I found it and didn’t spend much time trying to figure out how this happened, but it should have been a HUGE clue.
So this morning I’m working on the ribbing, as I wrote above, and that was when I realized the tip I was working with looked a bit large. I measured it −− Size 10! :noway: So there I was again, panicking, turning over rocks, trying to puzzle out where my Size 8 tips are and how the heck I managed to lose them, find them, and lose them again all without even trying.
I feel like a mental midget that it took me so long to see this −− I had two different-sized tips on the cable, one Size 8 and one Size 10! That was why every time I measured it I got a different size!! It’s so ridiculous! And then, once I realized that, the BIG lightbulb finally went off over my head −− if I had two different tips on the cable . . . that must mean the missing Size 8 tip was in the envelope with the other Size 10 tip! Duh . . . :eyes:
Okay, everything’s reasonably normal -- for now.
Oh gosh no you aren’t the only one! I don’t think I’ve done that exact thing, but I’ve done similar things. The worst is when I’ve thought I did something wrong, spent hours trying to figure it out, finally “figure out what I did wrong”, frog, only to realize everything was fine, no need to frog.
I’ve only done it 2 or 3 times in the last few months… I have the Denise’s and they are marked. The only excuse I have is I can’t find my reading glasses so I can read the marks, lol
Now, don’t tell us you can’t find them because their on top of your head! (Just kidding of course!) I used to do that with my regular glasses, but they were on my face!
We were on vacation, when I could not find my glasses, I was looking everywhere for them. Even looked on top of my head. I finally asked my family to help me look for them, when they all busted up laughing at me… I was wearing them:shrug:
I had taught art class all day and had stuck paint brush[U][SIZE=3]es [/SIZE][/U]behind my ear… Then went to the bank to write a check and got one of my brushes out to write with…:teehee:
lol, no I don’t have them on my head… I put them down in a place where I was sure I wouldn’t loose them… yeah right.
So then I put them in my knitting accessories bag, and would leave it across the room… I would be so comfortable where I was, I would try to read the #'s w/out geting up… so… I now make sure I have my glasses next to me when I gather everything up to knit.
Now, my cat does swipe things… so I still have an excuse if I use the wrong numbers.
(Just kidding of course!) I used to do that with my regular glasses, but they were on my face!
