Hvordan skete det her? / How did this happen?

Da jeg var i Phoenix og på vej hjem fra den dejlige garnbutik, sad jeg og strikkede i sporvognen. (Det hvide strikketøj nederst.) Pludselig opdagede jeg, at der sad noget i strikketøjet!
Det viste sig at være et stykke af en strømpepind.
Nu er det jo lykkedes mig at knække en af de gode, firkantede strømpepinde i ny og næ, men da jeg tog strømpen op, var ALLE pinde knækket! I stumper og stykker.

When I was in Phoenix and going home from the lovely yarn shop, I was knitting on the tram. (The white project at the bottom.) Suddenly I saw something stuck in my knitting!
Turned out to be a bit of a double pointed needle.
I have succeeded in breaking one of the lovely, square double pointed needles now and then, but when I pulled the sock out, ALL needles had broken! To pieces. 

Så mange stykker her, for at være helt præcis.
Jeg har ingen anelse om, hvad der er sket! Har svært ved at forestille mig, at jeg pludselig skulle have siddet dem alle i stykker eller gjort noget andet underligt, men hvordan kunne det ellers gå så galt? Måske var strømpen bare frustreret over at blive ignoreret. Igen.
Nå. Må ud at købe nogle nye. Kan godt lide at have et ekstra sæt, og de er virkelig dejlige at strikke med!

This many pieces, to be exact.
I have no idea how this happened! I have trouble imagining how I would suddenly have sit on them, breaking all of them, or done some other weird things, but what other explanation could there be?
Maybe the sock was just very frustrated that it was ignored. Again.
Well. Have to buy new ones. I like having an extra set, and they are really wonderful to knit with!
