a knitter's nightmare

i dreamed last night that i had gone home to visit with family, but i had only taken two knitting projects with me. when we were getting into the car to go over to someone else's home, i noticed that my needles were broken. both projects were sock projects, each with a broken needle. the tiny size 1 had the last 1/2" broken off, and my beautiful rosewood 2's were flexing and their finish was flaking off, not to mention it was in splinters. where did this distress come from?!
