Normally, as a rather absent-minded person, my method for finding things is to look in the few likely places that I might have put whatever it is, and it's in one of them. (There are more than few places in the house, but a particular thing will generally not try to hang out in all of them). This was failing badly for my folder of crochet hooks - not on the piano, not with the backup yarn, not in a knitting bag, not in the undertable - and searching all the places multiple times wasn't helping.
However, I have successfully tracked it down! The last time I crochet anything was for the Cambridge Science Festival's knitting/math demonstration - could I have brought the crochet hooks to that? Yes! There they were, in the half-empty paper bag of disposable circulars that I brought to let people take away. Hooray!
For those of you who have properly working memories for the little things, this probably does not sound so impressive. But I have been stomping around the living room in a victory stomp, proclaiming that I have found my tools @mahk-voice(WITH THE POWER OF MY MIND).
