Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey Knittle Purl-arf
Fiskars, Addis and a scarf
Of silk and wool called Clapotis
Little Kate wept
to see her things gone
And the sissors ran away with the addis

OK. My nursery rhyme sucks. I know. I'm a knitter not a poet. The point is CLAPOTIS IS MISSING.
So are 3 of my addis.
So are my eensy weensy Fiskars that are good for cutting little ends of yarn.
So are some of my Chibis (you know those tapestry needles?) but I can still find one, so I'm not terribly worried yet.

Why would this be?
Could it be that I am absent-minded? Maybe.
Could it be that I am not careful enough with my possessions? Perhaps.
Could it be that I am disorganized? Certainly.
Could it be that I would loose my nose if it weren't attached to my face? Most likely.
Could it be that my apartment is too darned small and too packed with stuff for each thing to have a place and everything to be in its place? Probably.
Would it be all of the above? Hell yes.

If you have any information about my lost objects, please call 1-800-555-KATE-LOSES-EVERYTHING.

UPDATE: Call off the dogs, the needles have been found! 20 minutes after I posted I found them. All three were together, huddled for warmth in one of my nicest bags. Moral of the story: Bitch and ye shall receive. (You didn't actually think I would have learned to put things where they belong, did you?)
