The knitting needle jinx
I'm knitting Martha on 3mm needles. The only 3mm needles I had in my collection were metal, and I didn't think my wrists could handle knitting a whole cardigan on 3mm metal needles, so I went out and bought some plastic ones.
Then I took my knitting to Wellington, and managed to leave one of the needles there. The weather turned wintery so I abandoned Martha for a few days and finished the heels of the Baudelaire socks instead. After the weather warmed up again I went out one lunch time and bought a new pair of 3mm needles. Not wanting to carry them back to work only to carry them back to my car again, I left them in my car. MISTAKE.
It's only spring too - it's not as though it's all that warm!!

I love using metal needles. Occasionally I try others, but I just end up getting angry at them, then realise how stupid I'm being for feeling resentful toward a pair of inanimate objects, and it all becomes a vicious cycle ... :)
