Up a Creek Without a Paddle

I have done it again!!! I have lost the directions for the sweater I am knitting. Have no fear, I made a copy of them so that if this happens, AGAIN, I would have a backup. Now, where is the copy!!! It is unbelievable how many times I do this. I thought having the backup copy would work but I can't find the backup!!!! I guess I will need to get by the bookstore to look at the magazine to get the two numbers I need to finish the sweater.
