Very lucky, as it turns out. Very, very lucky.
So I was sitting here yesterday working on a presentation I'm making in Kingston the end of June, when the phone rang.
It was Ted. He was on his way back from the Men's Knitting Retreat, and was going to be driving through town on his way home, so would I like to come for lunch?
Well, of course!
But that wasn't all -- in addition to having the pleasure of his company for a couple of hours, Ted also gave me this:
Yes, that is Miralda's Triangular Shawl (from Nancy Bush's book Knitted Estonian Lace, which he wrote about on his blog a while back.
And now it's mine! All mine!
No, the colour in that photo isn't quite right, it's not a sage green, it's a beautiful, deep, grassy green, You can't tell that from this photo, either:
The lovely thing about this shawl is that it is neither ethereal, nor is it a sturdy work-horse. It's somewhere in between, having enough substance, yet also very pretty at the same time. I'm going to love throwing it over my shoulders on cold mornings while I sit here and work.
So, Ted? Thanks (xbazillion).
