The little yarn cutter I'd bought got its first outing... which turned out to be its last! I had a long journey to fill, involving coach, ferry, bus and airline travel so took a sizeable crochet project with me to occupy the hours. On the long coach journey and then the ferry I made excellent progress, and each time I changed colours the little cutter came in very handy, and was then put back into the ticket pocket of my jeans. I should have suspected something wrong when the body search at the airport didn't turn anything up but didn't think about it - it wasn't until I sat down to wait for my flight and got the crochet out again that I realised I'd lost the cutter. Spent a fruitless time searching the airport shops, hoping to find something like nail clippers - but no success. Then tried everything in my bag - surely something would have a sharp enough edge to cut through a piece of yarn? Finally I made it - one of my keys is quite new so still has sharpish edges and I managed to saw through the yarn with it. Not ideal, but at least the flight time wasn't wasted!
Anyway, my crochet hook has now added a cross-Channel ferry to its modes of transport, and Belgium to the countries where it's been used!
