While transferring items from my personal inventory to a barrel that I use for storage, the game froze when I tried to put a sewing kit from my cooking pot in my hands to the barrel. I have done the same action before with a steak knife and that caused no issue. The sewing kit was the last item inside my cooking pot. This was the first time for me that the game actually froze.
After restarting the game i was able to put the sewing kit from the cooking pot in my hands to the barrel for storage.
