Lost Cable Needle

Yesterday I was knitting on the couch, and wanted to do some cables. So I found my cable needle stuck it in my yarn, and then life sucked me away from my project. It wasn't until this morning I had another chance to work on it. And now the cable needle has vanished without a trace. I have a feeling it's disappeared inside the sleeper couch somewhere. So tomorrow I'm going to have to unfold it and look again. I was so aggravated I didn't even do any knitting today. It doesn't help anything that the cable needle is gold, the blanket it was on is gold, and the couch is earth tones. I hate losing things and I do it with alarming regularity.
