Elegy for a needle

I spent the last week in Kentucky for work. It was nice since the coworkers I went with didn't necessarily need me to spend time with so I was able to get lots of knitting done. Except last night as I was putting my stole into my suitcase, I unscrewed the knitpicks options needles and screwed on the stoppers so I wouldn't drop stitches. Well, one of the needle points dropped behind the dresser and I couldn't reach it. I could see it. So I got something to try to get it and then it disappeared. Sigh. Oh well. More later. Food sleep and laundry are in order.
