A Sad Story

I lost  my Swallowtail shawl on the streets of Manhattan tonight.  It just quietly slipped from my shoulders.  I frantically retraced my steps, but to no avail.  I hope Swallowtail finds its way to someone who understands.  I'm sad.

Are you serious?? I'm so sorry. I'd be all mopey and blue if that happened to me. :( You should partake in some yarn-aquisition therapy to help you through your loss.

[beverly]

I am SOOOO sorry to hear this.

I had just visited your blog to see what yarn you used for it as I sw it on the KAL and thought how beautiful it looks. I would be crying if it was me. I'm so sorry, retail therapy is def the answer. ;)

[Amanda]

You're taking the loss so gracefully.

[Stephanie]

oh no!!
I quietly mourn for your swallowtail. I do hope that it has fluttered to someone who will understand it for the piece of gorgeousness that it is!

[Ruth]

Oh no! You have my sympathy, that's terrible. May I suggest some yarn therapy.

[Liz K.]

Oh, that is so so sad. I think you need to buy some more yarn to soothe your soul.

[Carole]

Oh, how awful. I lost a handknit mitten once but a shawl? That's truly tragic.

[Marie]

oh that's terrible. I'm so sorry!

[Chris]

Oh that is sad. Hopefully it found it's way onto someone's shoulders who needed the comfort of a beautiful, handknit shawl.

i sure hope whomever finds your shallowtail realizes that they just found gold!....hmmmm a little trip to the yarn store today to make you feel better!

[amyh]

Oh, no!!!I'm sitting here slack-jawed at your post! I certainly hope that the person who found it loves it like you did. Perhaps time for Swallowtail 2.0?

a bit more....I didn't recognize it from the above photo, but that shawl is one of the knits I recognized at Rhinebeck from the blogs I read. Again, it was beautiful. I'm sorry.

[Karen]

Oh no, that is so very sad. I'd be SO upset. :( It was so very beautiful. I'm so sorry.

[caro]

Aiiyiyiyi! Heartbreaking!

Oh, no! So sorry to hear about your poor, poor unintentionally orphaned shawl...yarn therapy is, indeed, necessary, I'm afraid. My condolences for your loss. :o(

[Amber]

Sniff sniff. :(:( So sad. So very sad.

I just hope the person who found it appreciates the beauty of that gorgeous handmade shawl. I left my Ene's Scarf at a restaurant once, the relief I felt when I went back and it was right there was staggering.
I'm so sorry!
