The authors I've read on this (not that that's a great abundance) seem to talk about (ahem, lecture against) self-indulgence, pursuit of pleasure, harmful diversions, and so forth, which don't seem to have anything to do with finding a missing knife blade.
LiSe has very interesting things said about coming and going, I think as an addendum to her 39?
it just gave me the impression of the hot and cold game we played as kids; you know: Oh, you're hot! Oh, now you're getting colder.
Lisa, you know, another thought occurred to me here. Ever notice how sometimes the harder we try, the further we get? Like trying to remember a name, or where we left something. But the further we get from trying to force it, the sooner it pops into our head or whatever is lost suddenly seems to magically turn up. That can relate to "coming joy", as though trying to make it appear, or trying to make it come to us.
the blade had fallen onto a decorative wicker rack
☱ = soft, pliable. Double ☱ = wicker.
Line 3 = ☵ = penetrating = knife blade.
How do you get Line 3 = ☵ ?
It's the water trigram, right?
sometimes you don't need to look for meanings but just take words that might be useful and could trigger helpful associations. It can be words, images, the trigrams, the image of hexes etc...
btw, i liked the association of the wastebasket and 27 - as junk"food/thoughts"
I got it by studying the qualities of the lines. I attempted to explain it here.

when reading the Yi horizontally -- that is, line 1 through the hexagrams, then line 2, and so on -- I found the trigrams there. My initial clue, I think, was the association of both line three and trigram ☵ with danger.
Here's something else that happened that night - I knew 27 (the very first reading I got about the knife blade) can mean "jaws," right? The third reading I got was 21.4 > 27:
"Biting into dried, bony meat, gains a metal arrow.
Constancy in hardship bears fruit - good fortune." (Hilary's book)
.
dried also could refer to drying the blade and metal arrow the blade itself ... in hindsight
still 27 readings to locate the wicker rack would be crash-course on lost-item readings.... post you pay-pal account and wait for enrollments.
